loking for a chart that I used to have that had a break down of how many BTUs were in a therm,in a gallon of #2 oil,in a gallon of propane and so on

 

[pecmsg]

1 kilowatt-hour of electricity = 3,412 Btu
1 cubic foot of natural gas = 1,026 Btu
1 therm of natural gas = 100,000 Btu
1 gallon of propane = 91,000 Btu
1 gallon of gasoline = 124,000 Btu
1 gallon of heating oil = 139,000 Btu
1 gallon of diesel fuel = 139,000 Btu

thank you for your reply. I have the BTU amounts, what I was looking for is a chart that I use to have that told me if you had one therm it was equal to so many gals of this or so many watts of that. I'm just wondering if one of the manufactors had one already made up???? Guest i'm just to lazy to make my own

there is a pretty good chart for the therm conversion..


Sorry about that, the link didnt work..

I have a spreadsheet in excel that you can input your efficiencies and cost per unit to get cost per million BTU's
It's good for electric, gas. oil, propane, etc.

Not sure if thats what your looking for.
