What does Btu (IT) measure?

Btu (IT) measures thermal energy based on the International Steam Tables, used in thermodynamics and engineering.

How is megawatt-hour defined?

A megawatt-hour is the energy produced by one megawatt of power sustained over one hour, used mainly in electrical energy applications.

Can I use this converter for all Btu types?

This converter is specific to Btu (IT) and may not be appropriate for other Btu variants.
