What is BTU?

 

         A BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound (0.454 kg) of liquid water by 1 °F (0.56 °C) at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. As with calorie, several BTU definitions exist, which are based on different water temperatures and therefore vary by up to 0.5%. A BTU can be approximated as the heat produced by burning a single wooden match or as the amount of energy it takes to lift a one-pound weight 778 feet (237 m).
