Discover the convenience of converting energy units from Gigajoules (GJ) to British Thermal Units (BTU) with our intuitive online tool. Designed by Newtum, this converter encourages users to explore energy conversion with ease.
A Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy within the International System of Units (SI) that is equivalent to one billion joules. One joule is the energy transferred when one newton of force is applied over a meter of distance. Hence, a gigajoule represents a substantial amount of energy often used in scientific and industrial contexts.
Definition of BTUITThe British Thermal Unit IT (BTUIT) 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. IT indicates 'International Table', which is used to clarify its specific calibration.
