A milliwatt (mW) is one thousandth of a watt and measures power as energy transfer per second, commonly used for low electrical power levels.

What does MBtu (IT)/hour measure?

MBtu (IT)/hour represents heat transfer rate where 1 MBtu/h equals 1,000 British thermal units delivered per hour.

Why convert milliwatts to MBtu (IT)/hour?

This conversion helps relate small electrical power outputs to heat transfer rates for HVAC, industrial heating, and energy management analysis.

Ideal for applications in electronics, HVAC, and industrial heating.
Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit conversions.

Examples

Convert 500 milliwatts: 500 × 3.4121416331279e-9 = 1.70607e-6 MBtu (IT)/hour.
Convert 2000 milliwatts: 2000 × 3.4121416331279e-9 = 6.82428e-6 MBtu (IT)/hour.

Common Use Cases

Evaluating power consumption of small electronic devices and circuits.
Measuring output ratings for audio amplifiers and portable sound equipment.
Assessing optical and RF device power for safety and communication link calculations.
Rating heating capacity of HVAC equipment and industrial furnaces.
Calculating building heating loads for energy management.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady-state power conditions when converting between electrical and thermal units.
Use the converter for low-level power to heat transfer rate translations where relevant.
Verify unit selections carefully to prevent measurement errors across domains.

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady-state power measurement conditions.
The difference between electrical power and thermal power definitions may affect results.
Values often become extremely small in thermal terms due to scale differences.
