Explanation

joules and British thermal units 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 joules = 0.000947817 British thermal units, and 1 British thermal units = 1055.056 joules. Because one British thermal units represents a larger amount than one joules, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.

How to convert joules to British thermal units

  1. Enter the value in joules (J).
  2. Multiply it by 0.000947817.
  3. The result is the equivalent value in British thermal units (BTU).
  4. Round the result if needed.

Worked example
