Unit Description
BTU per Second (BTU/s)
Definition
BTU per second (BTU/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per second. It's used in thermal engineering and HVAC applications, particularly in imperial unit systems.
History
BTU per second developed with the British Thermal Unit system and became important in thermal engineering and HVAC applications. It provided a power unit consistent with BTU energy measurements, particularly useful in heating and cooling system design.
Current Use
BTU per second is used in HVAC engineering, thermal system design, and heating/cooling applications. It's standard in imperial unit thermal calculations, boiler specifications, and air conditioning system ratings.
BTU per Minute (BTU/min)
Definition
BTU per minute (BTU/min) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per minute. It provides an intermediate scale between BTU per second and BTU per hour for thermal power measurements.
History
BTU per minute developed as an intermediate unit for thermal power measurements, providing a convenient scale between the very large BTU per second and the smaller BTU per hour. It became useful for medium-scale thermal applications and equipment ratings.
Current Use
BTU per minute is used in thermal equipment specifications, heating and cooling system ratings, and medium-scale thermal applications. It's found in thermal equipment ratings, industrial heating systems, and applications requiring intermediate thermal power scales.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 BTU per Second to BTU per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 60 BTU/min
- Conversion Formula: BTU/min = BTU/s × 60
- Calculation: 1 BTU/s × 60 = 60 BTU/min
Convert 10 BTU per Second to BTU per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 60 BTU/min
- Conversion Formula: BTU/min = BTU/s × 60
- Calculation: 10 BTU/s × 60 = 600 BTU/min
Convert 100 BTU per Second to BTU per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 60 BTU/min
- Conversion Formula: BTU/min = BTU/s × 60
- Calculation: 100 BTU/s × 60 = 6,000 BTU/min
Convert 1,000 BTU per Second to BTU per Minute
- Conversion Factor: 1 BTU/s = 60 BTU/min
- Conversion Formula: BTU/min = BTU/s × 60
- Calculation: 1,000 BTU/s × 60 = 60,000 BTU/min
