Convert erg/second to Btu (th)/second
Enter a value below to convert erg/second [erg/s] to Btu (th)/second [Btu(th)/s]. Reverse conversion: 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: Definition and Use
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: Definition and Use
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.
Erg/second to Btu (Th)/second: Frequently Asked Questions
