How to Convert BTUs to Tons of TNT
To convert British Thermal Units (BTU) to tons of TNT, multiply the number of BTUs by 2.52 x 10-7. This is because 1 BTU is equal to 1055.06 joules, and 1 ton of TNT is equal to 4.184 x 109 joules.
Formula
Tons of TNT = BTUs × 2.52e-7
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in BTUs
- Multiply that number by 2.52e-7
- The result is the equivalent energy in tons of TNT
Examples
- 1,000,000 BTU = 1,000,000 × 2.52e-7 = 0.252 tons of TNT
- 5,000,000 BTU = 5,000,000 × 2.52e-7 = 1.26 tons of TNT
- 10,000,000 BTU = 10,000,000 × 2.52e-7 = 2.52 tons of TNT
