TABLES OF MEASUREMENT

HEAT, WORK, AND POWER

The British thermal unit (Btu) or the kilogram-Calorie (Cal) were originally defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound or 1 kilogram of water by 1°F or 1°C, respectively. Recently the International Calorie has been defined as 1/860 International kilowatthour. The Btu is derived from the International Calorie from the relation 1 Cal per kg = 1.8 Btu per lb. The differences are less than 0.05 of 1% and are, therefore, for the purposes of these tables, negligible

1 British thermal unit [Btu]	= 778.26 foot-pounds (778) = 107.6 kilogram-meters = 0.2520 Calorie
