What is Btu (IT) used for?

Btu (IT) measures energy, commonly used to specify heating and cooling equipment energy, and in thermodynamic calculations.

Why convert Btu (IT) to microjoules?

Converting to microjoules helps express large heat energy values in very small SI units, useful for detailed scientific and engineering analysis.

Are microjoules suitable for all energy measurements?

Microjoules are best for very small energy quantities; for large energy amounts, joules or kilojoules are more practical.
