How to Convert BTU/Pound-°F to Joule/Gram-°C

To convert from BTU/Pound-°F (BTU/(lb·°F)) to Joule/Gram-°C (J/(g·°C)), multiply the value by 4.1868.

Formula: J/(g·°C) = BTU/(lb·°F) × 4.1868

Reverse: BTU/(lb·°F) = J/(g·°C) × 0.2388458966

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in BTU/Pound-°F. For example: 5 BTU/(lb·°F)
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 4.1868
The result is: 20.934 J/(g·°C)
