Explore the Femtowatt to Btu (IT)/Minute Converter by Newtum, designed to deliver precise energy unit conversions. This tool transforms femtowatts, a minuscule power measurement, into Btu per minute, an energy unit. Discover the efficiency of this conversion tool and dive into the details of energy conversions.
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equivalent to 10^-15 watts. It is a measurement that represents the transfer of one joule of energy per second at a scale that is a quadrillion times smaller than a watt. This minute scale is primarily used in scientific fields, such as quantum mechanics and nanotechnology, where extremely low power levels are common. Understanding femtowatts can be crucial for engineers and scientists working on advanced technologies that require accurate and precise power measurements.
Definition of BtuThe British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat, defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. In the context of power, a Btu per minute measures the rate of energy conversion or transfer. This unit is widely used in the United States to describe the power of heating and cooling systems, such as air conditioners and heaters. Understanding Btu is essential for professionals in energy-related fields, as it provides a standard measurement for comparing the efficacy and capacity of different energy systems.

100 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-13 Btu/min |
1,000 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-12 Btu/min |
10,000 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-11 Btu/min |
100,000 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-10 Btu/min |
1,000,000 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-9 Btu/min |
10,000,000 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-8 Btu/min |
100,000,000 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-7 Btu/min |
1,000,000,000 fW | 5.6925 x 10^-6 Btu/min |
1 fW = 5.6925 x 10^-15 Btu/min
1 Btu/min = 1.7524 x 10^14 fW
Example 1:
Convert 50 fW to Btu/min:
50 fW = 50 × 5.6925 x 10^-15 Btu/min = 2.84625 x 10^-13 Btu/min
Example 2:
Convert 200 fW to Btu/min:
200 fW = 200 × 5.6925 x 10^-15 Btu/min = 1.1385 x 10^-12 Btu/min
