Kilojoules to Btu (15.8°C, ISO) conversion formula
A kilojoule (kJ) is equivalent to one thousand joules (J). It is the energy required when a force of one thousand newtons is applied over a distance of one meter, or one newton applied over a kilometer. In reality, a joule is roughly the energy required to lift a small apple one meter against Earth's gravity.
Btu (15.8°C, ISO)
The British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat, defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The Btu (15.8°C, ISO) is a specific variant standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) based on the calorie defined at 15.8°C.
