How to Convert BTUs to Kilojoules
To convert British Thermal Units (BTU) to kilojoules, multiply the number of BTUs by 1.05506. This is because 1 BTU is equal to approximately 1.05506 kilojoules.
Formula
Kilojoules = BTUs × 1.05506
or
kJ = BTU × 1.05506
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in BTUs
- Multiply that number by 1.05506
- The result is the equivalent energy in kilojoules
Examples
- 5 BTU = 5 × 1.05506 = 5.2753 kJ
- 20 BTU = 20 × 1.05506 = 21.1012 kJ
- 100 BTU = 100 × 1.05506 = 105.506 kJ
