How to convert kilowatts to Btu IT per hour

Mechanical horsepower is 550 foot-pounds-force per second. Metric horsepower uses 75 kilogram-force meters per second and has a different value.

Use x for the value in kW, b for the intermediate value in W, and y for the result in Btu IT/h.

Btu IT/h = kW × 1000 ÷ 0.2930710701722222

Worked examples

  • 10 kW ≈ 34121.4163313 Btu IT/h

    Step 1: (10 × 1000) ≈ 10000 W.
    Step 2: 10000 ÷ 0.293071070172 ≈ 34121.4163313 Btu IT/h.

  • 20 kW ≈ 68242.8326626 Btu IT/h

    Step 1: (20 × 1000) ≈ 20000 W.
    Step 2: 20000 ÷ 0.293071070172 ≈ 68242.8326626 Btu IT/h.

Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
