How to Convert Kilocalories to BTUs
To convert kilocalories to British Thermal Units (BTU), multiply the number of kilocalories by 3.96567. This is because 1 kilocalorie is equal to 4184 joules, and 1 BTU is equal to 1055.06 joules.
Formula
BTUs = Kilocalories × 3.96567
or
BTU = kcal × 3.96567
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in kilocalories
- Multiply that number by 3.96567
- The result is the equivalent energy in BTUs
Examples
- 10 kcal = 10 × 3.96567 = 39.657 BTUs
- 50 kcal = 50 × 3.96567 = 198.28 BTUs
- 100 kcal = 100 × 3.96567 = 396.57 BTUs
