What does Btu (th) measure?

Btu (th) is the thermochemical British thermal unit, representing the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit based on thermochemical calorie standards.

Why convert Btu (th) to fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter?

This conversion facilitates comparing energy content of fuels in volumetric terms, useful for energy statistics, fuel management, and emissions reporting.

Can this conversion account for different fuel oil qualities?

No, it uses a standard reference fuel oil, and actual energy content may vary depending on the specific fuel oil composition.
