How to convert ergs to British thermal units

BTU = erg × 9.4781712 × 10-11

To convert ergs to British thermal units, multiply the number of ergs by 9.4781712 × 10-11.

Example: 10 erg to BTU

  1. Start with the value in ergs: 10 erg.
  2. Multiply by 9.4781712 × 10-11: 10 × 9.4781712 × 10-11 = 9.4781712 × 10-10.
  3. Result: 10 ergs = 9.4781712 × 10-10 British thermal units.

Going the other way, 1 British thermal unit = 10,550,558,526.2 ergs, so to convert British thermal units back to ergs you divide by the same number. See British thermal units to ergs.
