What does Mega Btu (IT) measure?

Mega Btu (IT) measures thermal energy and equals one million British thermal units based on the International Table.

Why convert Mega Btu (IT) to Fuel oil equivalent @barrel (US)?

This conversion helps compare heat content with petroleum volumes for energy accounting and fuel procurement.

Is the conversion exact for all fuel oils?

No, variations in fuel oil grade and density mean the energy content per barrel can differ, so the conversion is approximate.
