About the KJ to BTU Calculator
The KJ to BTU Calculator is used to convert energy measurements from kilojoules (kJ) to British Thermal Units (BTU). This is useful in various fields such as engineering, thermodynamics, and energy management to understand and compare energy values in different units.
Formula:
1 kJ = 0.94781712 BTU(IT)
1 BTU(IT) = 1.05505585262 kJ
The energy E(BTU) in BTUs is equal to 0.94781712 times the energy E(kJ) in kilojoules (kJ):
E(BTU) = E(kJ) / 1.05505585262 = 0.94781712 × E(kJ)
How to use the KJ to BTU Calculator:
1. Enter the energy value in kilojoules into the input box.
2. Click on "Calculate " to convert the entered value to BTUs.
3. The result will be displayed in a table format.
4. Click on "Clear" to reset the input field.
