British Thermal Unit

Published at 12:18PM - 11/01/15

A British Thermal Unit or BTU, is a measurement of energy. 1 BTU is equal to the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of 1 imperial pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit.

I BTU is equivalent to 1055 Joules.

With in the offshore gas production it is widely used to measure gas produce, with common conversions including:

1 cubic foot (1ft³) of natural gas≈ 1000BTU
Approximately 1000 cubic feet (1000ft³) of natural gas ≈ 1MMBTU≈ 1 Giga Joule (1GJ)
Price conversion of natural gas – 1000 m³ ≈ 35.8 MMBTU and 1 MMBTU ≈ 27.9 m³
