Discover the precision of converting foot-pounds to BTUs with Newtum's intuitive tool. Engage with our ft-lb to BTU converter and simplify your energy calculations today!
A foot-pound (ft-lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Imperial and US customary systems. It is the amount of energy transferred upon applying a one-pound force through a displacement of one foot. In physical terms, when a one-pound weight is lifted to a height of one foot, the energy expended in doing so is equivalent to one foot-pound.
Definition of British thermal unitA British thermal unit (BTU or 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. BTUs are used as a measure of the energy content in fuels, and the power of heating and cooling systems, such as furnaces, stoves, and air conditioners.
| Foot-pound (ft-lb) | British thermal unit (BTU) |
|---|---|
| 1 ft-lb | 0.00128507 BTU |

| 20 ft-lb | 0.0257014 BTU |
| 25 ft-lb | 0.03212675 BTU |
| 30 ft-lb | 0.0385521 BTU |
| 35 ft-lb | 0.04497745 BTU |
| 40 ft-lb | 0.0514028 BTU |
| 50 ft-lb | 0.0642535 BTU |
1 ft-lb = 0.00128507 BTU
1 BTU = 778.169 ft-lb
Example 1:
Convert 10 ft-lb to BTU:
10 ft-lb = 10 × 0.00128507 BTU = 0.0128507 BTU
Example 2:
Convert 50 ft-lb to BTU:
50 ft-lb = 50 × 0.00128507 BTU = 0.0642535 BTU
