What does Btu (th) measure?

Btu (th), or thermochemical British thermal unit, measures energy based on the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit using a thermochemical calorie basis.

What is a kilogram-force meter?

A kilogram-force meter is a gravitational metric unit of energy equal to the work done by one kilogram-force acting through one meter displacement; it is a historical unit used in engineering contexts.

Why convert Btu (th) to kilogram-force meter?

Converting allows translating thermal energy common in fuel and HVAC industries into mechanical energy units used historically, facilitating legacy data compatibility and mechanical work estimation.
