TRtoBTU/min

Convert tons of refrigeration (TR) to British thermal units per minute (BTU/min).

Factor1 TR = 200 BTU/min

Converter

TR

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
200BTU/min

Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
BTU/min = TR × 200

Multiply any value in tons of refrigeration by 200 to obtain the value in British thermal units per minute.

Worked example

Convert 1 TR to BTU/min.

  1. 01Start with 1 TR.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 200 = 200 BTU/min.
Result1 TR = 200 BTU/min

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from TR to BTU/min?
1 TR equals 200 BTU/min. To convert, multiply the value in tons of refrigeration by 200.
How do I convert 1 TR to BTU/min?
1 TR = 200 BTU/min. For any value, multiply by 200.
How do I convert BTU/min back to TR?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.005. So 1 BTU/min = 0.005 TR.
When would I need to convert ton of refrigeration 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).
