What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures thermal power as one thermochemical British thermal unit transferred per minute, often used for heating or cooling capacity.

Why convert to hectojoule/second?

Because 1 hJ/s equals 100 watts, it provides a convenient metric unit to compare and integrate thermal power with electrical and mechanical power.

Can this conversion be used for any Btu unit?

The conversion specifically assumes the thermochemical Btu definition; other Btu standards may affect accuracy.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts power values from Btu (th)/minute, a unit used to measure thermal energy transfer rates, into hectojoule/second [hJ/s], a metric unit representing energy flow in multiples of 100 joules per second.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in Btu (th)/minute to be converted.
Select the input unit as Btu (th)/minute and the output unit as hectojoule/second [hJ/s].
Click convert to get the equivalent power in hectojoule/second.

Key Features

Converts thermal power units used in heating and cooling systems to metric power units.
Supports HVAC, industrial thermal processing, and laboratory equipment applications.
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output formats.

Examples

Convert 5 Btu (th)/minute to hectojoule/second: 5 × 0.175725 = 0.878625 hJ/s.
Convert 10 Btu (th)/minute to hectojoule/second: 10 × 0.175725 = 1.75725 hJ/s.

Common Use Cases

Specifying heating capacity for furnaces, boilers, and water heaters in HVAC systems.
Rating heat exchangers and process heaters in industrial thermal settings.
Translating thermal energy flow rates into metric units for electrical and laboratory equipment comparisons.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the power rate is steady-state for accurate conversion results.
Use the tool for medium to large power values as hectojoule/second aligns with 100 W increments.
Confirm the Btu definition matches thermochemical standards to avoid precision issues.

Limitations

Applies only to steady power rates using the thermochemical Btu definition.
Variations in Btu unit standards may lead to differences in conversion precision.
Not ideal for converting very small energy transfer rates due to unit scaling.
