What does one kilopond meter represent?

One kilopond meter is the work done by a force of one kilopond acting through a displacement of one meter, equal to exactly 9.80665 joules.

What is a mega Btu (IT)?

A mega Btu (IT) is one million British thermal units as defined by the International Table and measures thermal energy, approximately equal to 1.055 × 10^9 joules.

Why convert kilopond meter to mega Btu (IT)?

This conversion helps translate older mechanical energy data into thermal energy units commonly used in fuel pricing, HVAC specifications, and energy accounting.
