  • 1 joule = 0.00094781712 British thermal units
  • Formula: J = BTU × 1,055.05585262

1 British thermal unit = 1,055.055853 joules

How to convert British thermal units to joules

J = BTU × 1,055.05585262

To convert British thermal units to joules, multiply the number of British thermal units by 1,055.05585262.

Example: 42 BTU to J

  1. Start with the value in British thermal units: 42 BTU.
  2. Multiply by 1,055.05585262: 42 × 1,055.05585262 = 44,312.34581.
  3. Result: 42 British thermal units = 44,312.34581 joules.

Going the other way, 1 joule = 0.00094781712 British thermal units, so to convert joules back to British thermal units you divide by the same number. See joules to British thermal units.
