What does joule per minute measure?

Joule per minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer or conversion per minute, useful for minute-scale averaging.

Why convert from joule/minute to Btu (th)/hour?

This conversion helps translate smaller scale, minute-based energy rates into standard thermal power units per hour commonly used in HVAC and building energy analysis.

Is the joule/minute unit widely supported?

Joule/minute is less commonly used and may not be supported by all software or instruments.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in joule/minute you want to convert
Select joule/minute as the input unit and Btu (th)/hour as the output unit
Click convert to get the equivalent value in Btu (th)/hour

Key Features

Easy conversion between joule/minute and Btu (th)/hour units
Based on a precise conversion rate: 1 J/min = 0.0569070992 Btu (th)/h
Supports power measurement contexts including HVAC, thermal systems, and laboratory experiments

Examples

Convert 10 J/min: 10 × 0.0569070992 = 0.569071 Btu (th)/h
Convert 50 J/min: 50 × 0.0569070992 = 2.845355 Btu (th)/h

Common Use Cases

Reporting heat-release or energy rates in small-scale chemical experiments measured over minutes
Estimating HVAC system heat output and load ratings
Specifying heating performance of boilers, water heaters, and heat exchangers

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent timing intervals when using joule/minute to maintain conversion accuracy
Use this unit conversion to simplify communication between minute-based measurements and industry-standard hourly thermal units
Verify that your software or measurement tools support joule/minute units before conversion

Limitations

Joule/minute is a less common power unit and may lack support in some instruments or programs
The conversion assumes steady average power over the measured minute interval, not capturing transient changes
Conversion accuracy depends on consistent unit definitions and precise timing in measurements
