What does one fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?

It represents the energy released by burning one kiloliter of a standard reference fuel oil, used to compare and report fuel energy content.

Why use Mega Btu (IT) for energy measurement?

Mega Btu (IT) measures thermal energy based on the International Table definition and is widely used for commercial energy transactions and heat capacity specifications.

Can fuel composition affect the accuracy of this conversion?

Yes, because fuel oil composition varies, the defined energy content per kiloliter is a reference value and may not exactly match all fuels.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the conversion for reference and comparison purposes rather than precise fuel-specific measurements
Apply the tool for energy accounting and commercial pricing based on standard definitions
Consider consistency in Btu definitions when comparing across different standards
Verify input values carefully to align with the reference fuel oil equivalent basis

Limitations

Fuel oil composition variations mean energy content may differ from the standard reference
Mega Btu (IT) values follow the International Table definition, which may differ from other Btu standards
Conversion reflects standardized units and may require adjustment for exact fuel properties
