Definition of Btu
- Definition
- British thermal unit (IT) — legacy heat unit based on heating water.
- Reference factor
- 1 Btu (IT) = 1055.056 J
- Sources
- EIA — Btu
About the Btu
Facts & Uses
- Core unit in U.S. HVAC, combustion, and fuel heat content tables; equipment capacity is typically rated in Btu/h (power) for load calculations and furnace/boiler sizing.
- Common billing/market units: therm (100,000 Btu), MMBtu (106 Btu), and MBH (103 Btu/h) in gas utilities, pipelines, and energy trading.
- Efficiency metrics convert directly: 1 kWh ≈ 3412 Btu; SEER and HSPF use Btu/Wh; AFUE/boiler efficiency often reported against Btu input.
- Reference conversion anchor for engineering: 1 Btu (IT) ≈ 1055.06 J ≈ 0.000293071 kWh; useful for energy balances and heat loss/gain estimates.
Curiosities
- Multiple historical definitions exist (e.g., IT Btu, mean Btu); modern U.S. practice typically standardizes on IT Btu.
- Ton of refrigeration is a power unit equal to 12,000 Btu/h (not energy) and underpins A/C sizing conventions.
- Notation can confuse: industry often uses MMBtu for million Btu (Roman numeral convention), while MBtu sometimes means thousand Btu.
- Building analytics in the U.S. may cite energy use intensity (EUI) as Btu/ft²·yr for benchmarking envelopes and systems.

About the Gallon (US) Of LPG
Facts & Uses
- LPG (propane) higher heating value (HHV) ≈ 91,452 Btu/gal ≈ 26.8 kWh/gal ≈ 96.5 MJ/gal; used for space heating, water heating, forklifts, and autogas.
- Specify HHV vs. LHV, blend composition (propane/butane), and temperature/density when converting gallons to energy for audits and fuel economics.
- Vehicle comparisons often use GGE (gasoline-gallon equivalent) and DGE (diesel-gallon equivalent) to normalize energy content across fuels.
- Operationally tied to ASME tanks, vaporization rate, and temperature-compensated metering in delivery/billing.
Curiosities
- Butane has higher HHV per gallon (~103,000 Btu/gal), but winter reliability favors propane-rich blends due to vapor pressure.
- Energy is billed by volume (U.S. gallons) yet consumed as vapor; temperature correction improves fairness across seasons.
- LPG’s energy density by volume is lower than gasoline/diesel, affecting range and fueling logistics for fleets.
- Safety odorization with mercaptans doesn’t affect energy content but is crucial for leak detection and codes.
