Btu (It)

The Btu (IT) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, based on the International Table (IT) standards.

History/Origin

The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit, adapted for international standards to provide a consistent measurement of heat energy, particularly in engineering and thermodynamics contexts.

Current Use

The Btu (IT) is primarily used in the energy industry, including heating, cooling, and power generation, to quantify energy content and efficiency in systems adhering to international standards.


Calorie (Th)

The calorie (th) is a unit of energy used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.

History/Origin

The calorie (th) was historically used in the context of thermochemistry and nutrition, originating from the calorie concept in the 19th century. It has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts but remains in common use in some regions and fields.

Current Use

Today, the calorie (th) is primarily used in nutrition labeling and food energy measurements, especially in regions where the thermochemical calorie is still recognized, although the joule is the SI standard.
