How to Convert BTUs to Ergs
To convert British Thermal Units (BTU) to ergs, multiply the number of BTUs by 1.05506 x 1010. This is because 1 BTU is equal to 1055.06 joules, and 1 joule is equal to 10,000,000 ergs.
Formula
Ergs = BTUs × 10,550,600,000
or
erg = BTU × 1.05506e10
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in BTUs
- Multiply that number by 10,550,600,000
- The result is the equivalent energy in ergs
Examples
- 1 BTU = 1 × 1.05506e10 = 10,550,600,000 ergs
- 5 BTU = 5 × 1.05506e10 = 52,753,000,000 ergs
- 10 BTU = 10 × 1.05506e10 = 105,506,000,000 ergs
