What is a mega Btu (IT)?

A mega Btu (IT) represents one million British thermal units as defined by the International Table and measures thermal energy.

How is a watt-second related to joules?

A watt-second is dimensionally equal to one joule, representing energy transferred by one watt sustained for one second.

When should I convert mega Btu (IT) to watt-seconds?

Conversion is useful to express thermal energy in SI units compatible with electrical or mechanical energy systems, instrumentation, and precise time-based energy calculations.
