Convert Btu (th) to kilowatt-second
Please provide values below to convert Btu (th) [Btu (th)] to kilowatt-second [kW*s], or Convert kilowatt-second to Btu (th).
1 Btu (th) = 1.05435026 kW*s. To convert Btu (th) to kilowatt-second, multiply the value by 1.05435026; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kW*s = 0.948451418791 Btu (th)). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Btu (Th)
The Btu (th), or British thermal unit (th), is a unit of energy used primarily in the United States to measure heat content, equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
History/Origin
The Btu (th) originated from the British thermal unit, a traditional unit of heat in the British Imperial system, and has been used historically in heating, cooling, and energy industries to quantify energy content and heat transfer.
Current Use
Today, the Btu (th) is mainly used in the energy sector, particularly in heating and cooling systems, natural gas billing, and energy content measurement, especially within the United States.
Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
