BTU per degree Fahrenheit to kilojoules per kelvin

Type a value in BTU/°F to get it in kJ/K instantly.

18.99kJ/K

That's 2.7× as much heat capacity as a full kettle, while a person is 13× more. Warming it by 10 °C takes about 0.05275 kWh.

What it means

How much heat does it hold?

Examples are water-filled unless stated: water takes 4,184 J to warm a kilogram by one degree. A person is taken as 70 kg.

The math

How to convert BTU/°F to kJ/K

To convert BTU per degree Fahrenheit to kilojoules per kelvin, multiply by 1.8991.

Example: 10 BTU/°F × 1.8991 = 18.991 kJ/K.

In the other direction, 1 kJ/K = 0.526565 BTU/°F.
