Quick answer

  • 1 kilojoule = 0.9478171203 British thermal units
  • 1 British thermal unit = 1.055055853 kilojoules
  • Formula: BTU = kJ × 0.947817120313

1 kilojoule = 0.9478171203 British thermal units

How to convert kilojoules to British thermal units

BTU = kJ × 0.947817120313

To convert kilojoules to British thermal units, multiply the number of kilojoules by 0.947817120313.

Example: 42 kJ to BTU

  1. Start with the value in kilojoules: 42 kJ.
  2. Multiply by 0.947817120313: 42 × 0.947817120313 = 39.80831905.
  3. Result: 42 kilojoules = 39.80831905 British thermal units.

Going the other way, 1 British thermal unit = 1.05505585262 kilojoules, so to convert British thermal units back to kilojoules you divide by the same number. See British thermal units to kilojoules.
