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 propane:

CFH: 100 CFH
Gas Type: Propane

Using the formula:

$\text{BTU} = 100 \times 2517 = 251700 \text{ BTU}$

This means the heating capacity is 251700 BTU.
