Converting from British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU) to Gigajoule (GJ) | Energy

What is British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU)

The British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU) is a traditional unit of energy used mostly in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

What is Gigajoule (GJ)

Gigajoule (GJ) is a metric unit of energy that is commonly used in scientific and engineering applications. It is equivalent to one billion joules and is used to express larger amounts of energy.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between BTU and GJ can be done using the following formulas:

• 1 BTU=0.0000010545 GJ

• 1 GJ=948316.7 BTU

Examples

1. Converting 5 BTU to GJ:

   • 5 BTU=5×0.0000010545 GJ=0.0000052725 GJ

2. Converting 14 BTU to GJ:

   • 14 BTU=14×0.0000010545 GJ=0.000014763 GJ

3. Converting 11 GJ to BTU:

   • 11 GJ=11×948316.7 BTU=10431480 BTU

Therefore, by using these conversion formulas, you can easily convert between British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU) and Gigajoule (GJ) to meet your energy calculation needs.
