Converting from Joule (J) to British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU) | Energy

What is Joule (J)

The Joule (J) is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is used to quantify energy, work, or heat.

What is British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU)

The British Thermal Unit, ISO (BTU) is a traditional unit of energy used in the United States and other countries for measuring energy content in heating and cooling systems.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Joules (J) and British Thermal Units (BTU) is:

• 1 (J) = 0.0009483167 (BTU)
• 1 (BTU) = 1054.5 (J)

For other conversions, you can use the following formulas:

• BTU=J×0.0009483167
• J=BTU×1054.5

Examples

1. Converting 13 Joules (J) to British Thermal Units (BTU): BTU=13×0.0009483167=0.01232812

2. Converting 15 Joules (J) to British Thermal Units (BTU): BTU=15×0.0009483167=0.01422475

3. Converting 5 British Thermal Units (BTU) to Joules (J): J=5×1054.5=5272.5
