Calories (15°C,CIPM, 1950) to Btu (I.T., pre-1956) conversion formula
The calorie defined as CIPM, 1950 or the "15°C calorie" is a unit of energy that was historically used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at 15°C. This definition was established by the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) in 1950.
Btu (I.T., pre-1956)
The Btu (I.T., pre-1956) refers to the International Table Btu, a specific definition used before 1956. It represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.
