Kilojoules to BTU Calculator
Kilojoule (KJ) to British Thermal Unit (BTU) Conversion
To convert kilojoules to BTUs, use this standard conversion factor:
Conversion Formula
BTU = KJ × 0.947817Where:
- BTU = British Thermal Units
- KJ = Kilojoules
Example
If you have an energy output of 1000 KJ, the calculation would be:
BTU = 1000 KJ × 0.947817 ≈ 947.817 BTUKilojoule (KJ)
A kilojoule (KJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules. It is commonly used to measure energy in food and physical activity.
British Thermal Unit (BTU)
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is commonly used in heating and cooling systems.
Why Convert KJ to BTU?
Converting kilojoules to BTUs is useful for understanding energy consumption in heating and cooling applications, especially in the context of HVAC systems.
