Discover the convenience of converting Calorie IT to British thermal unit th with our precise Cal to BTU converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool sparks your curiosity to explore energy unit conversions effortlessly.
A Calorie, often denoted as 'cal', is a unit of energy. Specifically, it is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. Calories are commonly used to quantify the energy content in food.
Definition of BTUThe British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a traditional unit of heat; it is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The BTU is an important unit in power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries.
| Calorie IT (cal) | British thermal unit th (BTU) |
|---|---|
| 1 cal | 0.00397 BTU |
| 10 cal | 0.0397 BTU |
| 50 cal | 0.1985 BTU |
| 100 cal | 0.397 BTU |
| 200 cal | 0.794 BTU |
| 500 cal | 1.985 BTU |
| 1000 cal | 3.97 BTU |
| 2000 cal | 7.94 BTU |
| 5000 cal | 19.85 BTU |
| 10000 cal | 39.7 BTU |
1 cal = 0.00397 BTU
1 BTU = 252 cal
Example 1:
Convert 150 cal to BTU:
150 cal = 150 × 0.00397 BTU = 0.5955 BTU
Example 2:
Convert 500 cal to BTU:
500 cal = 500 × 0.00397 BTU = 1.985 BTU
The conversion from Calories to British thermal units (th) has been a staple in energy-related fields for decades. This relationship bridges food energy and heating energy, allowing for comparisons and conversions between different systems of measurement.
Understanding the practical applications of converting Calorie IT to BTUs can provide insights into energy management and efficiency in everyday life.
Example 1:
To convert 250 calories to BTUs, simply multiply by the conversion factor:
250 cal × 0.00397 = 0.9925 BTU
Example 2:
For converting 750 calories to BTUs:
750 cal × 0.00397 = 2.9775 BTU
