Formula

Formula
kgf·m/s = BTU/hr × 0.02988493

Multiply any value in British thermal units per hour by 0.02988493 to obtain the value in kilograms-force metre per second.

Worked example

Convert 10000 BTU/hr to kgf·m/s.

  1. 01Start with 10000 BTU/hr.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 10000 × 0.02988493 = 298.849 kgf·m/s.
Result10000 BTU/hr = 298.849 kgf·m/s

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from BTU/hr to kgf·m/s?
1 BTU/hr equals 0.02988493 kgf·m/s. To convert, multiply the value in British thermal units per hour by 0.02988493.
How do I convert 1 BTU/hr to kgf·m/s?
1 BTU/hr = 0.0298849 kgf·m/s. For any value, multiply by 0.02988493.
How do I convert kgf·m/s back to BTU/hr?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 33.46168. So 1 kgf·m/s = 33.4617 BTU/hr.
When would I need to convert British thermal unit per hour to kilogram-force metre per second?
Power conversions are common when comparing motor ratings (often kW or hp), thermal duty (BTU/hr or kW), and utility consumption in mixed-unit projects.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
