Convert CFH to BTU



What is CFH to BTU Conversion?

CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour) is a unit of volumetric flow rate, while BTU (British Thermal Unit) is a unit of heat energy. This calculator helps you convert CFH to BTU using the conversion factors: 1 CFH of natural gas = 1037 BTU and 1 CFH of propane = 2517 BTU[^1^].

Formula

The formula to convert CFH to BTU is:

\[ \text{BTU} = \text{CFH} \times \text{Conversion Factor} \]

Where the conversion factor is 1037 for natural gas and 2517 for propane.

Example Calculation

Consider a flow rate of 100 CFH of natural gas:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{BTU} = 100 \times 1037 = 103700 \text{ BTU} \]

This means the heating capacity is 103700 BTU.
