    Convert Ton of Refrigeration (RT) to BTU/Minute (BTU/min) instantly. 1 RT = 200 BTU/min.

    Worked example: converting Ton of Refrigeration to BTU/Minute

    1. Step 1 — start with the formula. BTU/min = RT × 200.0000000023
    2. Step 2 — substitute your figure. 2 RT × 200.0000000023
    3. Step 3 — read the result. 2 RT = 400 BTU/min
    4. Step 4 — check it in reverse. RT = BTU/min × 0.005 returns 2 RT, which matches the figure you started with.
