Joule to British thermal unit converter (j to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 j = 9.48e-4 btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Joule = 1.000 joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 j = (1.000 J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 9.48e-4 btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in j by 9.48e-4 to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 j to btu:

5 j × 9.48e-4 = 0.004739 btu
