What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer equivalent to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered every second, commonly used for assessing thermal energy flow.

When should I use centijoule/second units?

Centijoule/second units are best for expressing very small, steady power levels typical in scientific research and low-power electronic devices.

Can I convert high power values accurately using this tool?

While the tool supports large values, precision might be reduced due to the substantial size difference between the units and floating point rounding.
