What does Btu (IT)/cubic foot measure?

It measures the amount of heat energy contained in one cubic foot of gaseous fuel based on the International Table British thermal unit.

Why convert Btu (IT)/ft³ to kilojoule/m³?

Converting to kilojoule per cubic meter expresses energy content in SI units, facilitating standard engineering calculations, energy billing, and combustion management.

Can temperature and pressure affect conversion results?

Yes, volumetric energy content varies with temperature and pressure, so standard reference states should be consistently applied for accuracy.
