Btu (Th)
The Btu (th), or British thermal unit (th), is a unit of energy used primarily in the United States to measure heat content, equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
History/Origin
The Btu (th) originated from the British thermal unit, a traditional unit of heat in the British Imperial system, and has been used historically in heating, cooling, and energy industries to quantify energy content and heat transfer.
Current Use
Today, the Btu (th) is mainly used in the energy sector, particularly in heating and cooling systems, natural gas billing, and energy content measurement, especially within the United States.
Pound-Force Foot
The pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one pound-force applied at a perpendicular distance of one foot from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The pound-force foot originated from the Imperial system of units, primarily used in the United States, to quantify torque in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the pound-force foot is still used in certain engineering fields, particularly in the United States, to measure torque in automotive, mechanical, and structural applications, although the SI unit newton meter is more common internationally.
