Kilowatt (kW)

The kilowatt (symbol: kW) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 1,000 watts:

Kilowatts are widely used to measure the power consumption or output of household appliances, small engines, and electric tools. For example, a typical microwave oven might use about 1 kW of power.

In electricity billing, power usage is often measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), which reflects energy consumption over time.

The kilowatt is a practical unit for everyday energy use, bridging the scale from watts (for small devices) to megawatts (for larger power generation). It helps people understand and compare the power ratings of common electrical equipment.

Btu (th)/minute

The Btu (th)/minute is a unit of power that measures the rate of heat transfer in thermochemical British thermal units per minute.

• 
  

  Btu (th) stands for the thermochemical British thermal unit, defined as approximately 1,055.87 joules, slightly different from the International Table Btu.

  
  
• 
  

  Expressed as Btu (th)/minute, it indicates how many thermochemical Btus of heat are transferred or generated every minute.

This unit is useful in applications requiring precise measurement of heat flow at rates higher than Btu (th)/hour, such as in industrial heating or chemical processing.
