What Is This Tool?

This unit converter transforms power measurements from Btu (IT)/minute, an imperial thermal power unit, into gigajoule/second, a large-scale SI unit of power. It helps engineers and technicians translate thermal energy rates used in HVAC and industrial systems into comparable SI units for analysis and reporting.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value measured in Btu (IT)/minute into the input field
Select the from-unit as Btu (IT)/minute and to-unit as gigajoule/second
Click the convert button to see the equivalent gigajoule/second value
Use the result for energy system calculations or engineering assessments

Key Features

Converts thermal power from Btu (IT)/minute to gigajoule/second with accurate rates
Supports power measurement in both imperial and SI units for professional use
Web-based and easy to use with no installation required
Useful for large-scale energy and thermal power calculations involving boilers and power plants

Examples

100 Btu (IT)/minute converts to approximately 1.7584264210333e-6 GJ/s
1,000,000 Btu (IT)/minute equals roughly 0.01758426421 GJ/s

Common Use Cases

Rating heat output of boilers, burners, and heat exchangers in industrial facilities
Specifying the cooling and heating capacity of high-capacity HVAC and refrigeration units
Converting imperial thermal power values to SI units for mechanical engineering calculations
Expressing large-scale electrical generation or thermal energy output in power plants

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady-state power flow conditions before converting to maintain accuracy
Use the converted values to compare or aggregate energy data across different unit systems
Be aware of the scale difference; small Btu/min values will convert to very small GJ/s numbers
Double-check inputs to avoid errors in large-scale energy system analyses

Limitations

Converting small Btu (IT)/minute values results in very small decimal values that may cause rounding errors
The tool assumes stable power transfer rates and does not account for transient or varying heat flows
