What does one Btu (IT) represent?

One Btu (IT) is a British thermal unit defined by the International Steam Tables, measuring energy, with approximately 1,055.05585 joules.

Why convert Btu (IT) to millijoules?

Converting Btu (IT) to millijoules allows expressing large-scale heat energy measurements in much smaller SI units suitable for precise scientific and engineering calculations.

In what applications is millijoule used?

Millijoules are used to quantify small energy amounts like pulse energy in low-power lasers, small electronic events in microelectronics, and mechanical impact energy in micro-mechanics.
