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

  1. Take the measurement in BTUs
  2. Multiply that number by 1.05506
  3. 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
