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^].
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.
Consider a flow rate of 100 CFH of propane:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{BTU} = 100 \times 2517 = 251700 \text{ BTU} \]
This means the heating capacity is 251700 BTU.
