Convert Btu (IT)/second to picowatt
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT)/second [Btu/s] to picowatt [pW], or Convert picowatt to Btu (IT)/second.
1 Btu/s = 1.0551e+15 pW. To convert Btu (IT)/second to picowatt, multiply the value by 1.0551e+15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pW = 9.4782e-16 Btu/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Btu/s = 1.0551e+15 pW
- 1 pW = 9.4782e-16 Btu/s
- 10 Btu/s = 1.0551e+16 pW
- 100 Btu/s = 1.0551e+17 pW
How to Convert Btu (It)/second to Picowatt
1 Btu/s = 1.05505585e+15 pW
Example: convert 15 Btu/s to pW:
15 Btu/s = 15 × 1.05505585e+15 pW = 1.582583775e+16 pW

Btu (It)/second
Btu per second (Btu/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one British thermal unit (Btu) is transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The Btu (British thermal unit) has been used historically to measure energy, especially in heating and cooling industries. The use of Btu per second as a power unit emerged to quantify energy transfer rates in engineering and scientific contexts, aligning with the broader adoption of the Btu in energy measurement.
Current Use
Btu/s is used primarily in engineering and energy industries to specify power levels, such as in heating, cooling, and energy transfer systems, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
