What Is This Tool?

This tool converts from pound per British thermal unit (thermal) [lb/Btu (th)], a mass-per-energy unit, to calorie (International Steam Table) per gram [cal/g], a specific-energy unit. It assists in evaluating fuel efficiency by translating mass-based fuel consumption into energy content per mass.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in pound per Btu (th) you want to convert
  • Select the desired output unit as calorie (IT) per gram
  • Click convert to see the equivalent energy content in cal/g

Key Features

  • Converts fuel efficiency mass units from lb/Btu (th) to cal/g
  • Supports fuel comparison based on mass and energy content
  • Provides quick conversion for industrial and engineering applications

Examples

  • 2 lb/Btu (th) converts to 1.110368035 cal/g
  • 0.5 lb/Btu (th) converts to 0.277592009 cal/g

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying boiler or furnace fuel consumption for thermal system design
  • Comparing fuel energy content for industrial burner selection
  • Calculating fuel mass flow rates for combustion power output and emissions estimates

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion to compare fuels by mass-based energy content and fuel consumption
  • Consider additional factors like combustion efficiency and environmental conditions in fuel assessments
  • Use consistent definitions for Btu (thermal) and International Steam Table calorie for accurate results

Limitations

  • Fuel composition and measurement conditions may influence conversion accuracy
  • Standard definitions of units may vary regionally, affecting outcomes
  • Additional adjustments are required for real-world combustion efficiency and system losses
