British Thermal Unit (IT) Per Second (Btu (IT)/s) is a unit in the category of Power (Heat flow). It is also known as Btu per second, Btu/second. This unit is commonly used in the UK, US unit systems. British Thermal Unit (IT) Per Second (Btu (IT)/s) has a dimension of ML²T^-3 where M is mass, L is length, and T is time. It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit W by multiplying its value by a factor of 1055.05585262.

Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).
