Factor1 kW = 56.86903 BTU/min
Converter
kW
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
BTU/min
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
BTU/min = kW × 56.86903
Multiply any value in kilowatts by 56.86903 to obtain the value in British thermal units per minute.
Worked example
Convert 100 kW to BTU/min.
- 01Start with 100 kW.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 56.86903 = 5686.9 BTU/min.
Result100 kW = 5686.9 BTU/min

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kW to BTU/min?
1 kW equals 56.86903 BTU/min. To convert, multiply the value in kilowatts by 56.86903.
How do I convert 1 kW to BTU/min?
1 kW = 56.869 BTU/min. For any value, multiply by 56.86903.
How do I convert BTU/min back to kW?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01758426. So 1 BTU/min = 0.0175843 kW.
When would I need to convert kilowatt to British thermal unit per minute?
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).
