What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform power measurements from Btu (th)/second, a unit primarily used for thermal energy flow, into microjoule/second, which measures very small amounts of continuous power common in electronics and photonics.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the power value in Btu (th)/second that you want to convert
-
Select Btu (th)/second as the input unit and microjoule/second as the output unit

Conversions between these units are generally not direct substitutes due to distinct application areas
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Btu (th)/second measure?
-
It measures the rate of thermal energy flow as one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered every second.
-
Where is microjoule/second commonly used?
-
It quantifies extremely small continuous power levels in electronics, photonics, and energy-harvesting devices.
-
Why is this conversion useful?
-
It translates large-scale thermal power values into very fine power levels important for precision instrumentation and low-power device analysis.
Key Terminology
-
Btu (th)/second
-
A power unit representing the rate of heat transfer of one thermochemical British thermal unit per second.
-
Microjoule/second (µJ/s)
-
A unit of power equal to one microjoule of energy transfer per second, used for very low power levels.
