Convert erg/second to Btu (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to Btu (th)/second [Btu(th)/s], or Convert Btu (th)/second to erg/second.
1 erg/s = 9.4845e-11 Btu(th)/s. To convert erg/second to Btu (th)/second, multiply the value by 9.4845e-11; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Btu(th)/s = 10543500000 erg/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Erg/second
The erg/second (erg/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one erg per second equals the transfer of one erg of energy per second.
History/Origin
The erg is an older CGS (centimeter-gram-second) unit of energy, introduced in the early 20th century for scientific calculations. The erg/second was used in physics to quantify power in contexts where the CGS system was prevalent, especially in astrophysics and theoretical physics.
Current Use
Today, the erg/second is rarely used outside specialized scientific fields; the SI unit watt (W) is preferred for measuring power. However, erg/s may still be encountered in historical data, astrophysics, or when working with CGS-based calculations.
Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 erg/second in Btu (th)/second?
1 erg/second (erg/s) = 9.4845e-11 Btu (th)/second (Btu(th)/s).
How do you convert erg/second to Btu (th)/second?
Multiply the erg/second value by 9.4845e-11. For example, 25 erg/s × 9.4845e-11 = 2.37112913169e-09 Btu(th)/s.
What is 10 erg/second in Btu (th)/second?
10 erg/s = 9.4845e-10 Btu(th)/s.
