Btu to psia⋅ft3 and psia⋅ft3 to Btu Calculator

How to Calculate Between Btu and psia⋅ft³

The Btu to psia⋅ft³ and psia⋅ft³ to Btu Calculator converts between British Thermal Units (Btu) and the pressure-volume product in pounds per square inch absolute times cubic feet (psia⋅ft³) for energy in engineering contexts. The formulas are:

\( psia \cdot ft^3 = Btu \times 5.40395 \)
\( Btu = psia \cdot ft^3 / 5.40395 \)

Where:

\( Btu \): British Thermal Unit, a unit of energy.
\( psia \cdot ft^3 \): Product of pressure in pounds per square inch absolute and volume in cubic feet, equivalent to energy.

Select the conversion direction, enter the input value, and calculate the result.

Using the Btu and psia⋅ft³ Mutual Conversion Calculator

This calculator is useful for thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, or mechanical engineering, such as converting energy units, supporting bidirectional conversions.

Select the direction (Btu to psia⋅ft³ or psia⋅ft³ to Btu), input the value. The calculator outputs the converted value.

Example 1: For an energy of 1 Btu to psia⋅ft³.

Direction: Btu to psia⋅ft³
Input: \( 1 \)
Calculation: \( psia \cdot ft^3 = 1 \times 5.40395 = 5.40395 \)
Result: \( 5.40395 \, \text{psia⋅ft³} \)

Example 2: For a value of 10 psia⋅ft³ to Btu.

Direction: psia⋅ft³ to Btu
Input: \( 10 \)
Calculation: \( Btu = 10 / 5.40395 \approx 1.85035 \)
Result: \( 1.85035 \, \text{Btu} \)

Use this tool for quick bidirectional conversions in engineering analysis.
