Converting from British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU) to Ton of TNT (tnTNT) | Energy

What is British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU)

The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a unit of energy traditionally used in the United States and United Kingdom to quantify heat. It is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

What is Ton of TNT (tnTNT)

A Ton of TNT (tnTNT) is a unit of energy used to measure the energy released by an explosion. It is equivalent to the energy released by detonating one ton of trinitrotoluene (TNT) and is commonly used to measure the power of explosions.
