What does Btu (th)/cubic foot measure?

It measures the amount of thermal energy contained in one cubic foot of fuel, representing the calorific value of gaseous fuels.

What is gallon (US)/horsepower (metric)-hour used for?

It indicates how many US gallons of fuel are consumed to produce one metric horsepower of mechanical power over one hour.

Can this conversion be used for fuel billing purposes?

Yes, converting natural gas volumes to energy helps in utility billing and accurate energy reporting.

Does the converter account for engine efficiency differences?

No, the conversion assumes standard conditions and does not factor in variations in engine efficiency or operational conditions.
