Explanation

British thermal units and joules are units of energy. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 British thermal units = 1055.056 joules, and 1 joules = 0.000947817 British thermal units. Because one joules represents a smaller amount than one British thermal units, the numeric value gets larger in this direction.

How to convert British thermal units to joules

  1. Enter the value in British thermal units (BTU).
  2. Multiply it by 1055.056.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in joules (J).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example

7586 × 1055.056 = 8003654.816 joules

Frequently Asked Questions
