Kilogram-Force Meter
Kilogram-force meter (kgf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the amount of work done when a force of one kilogram-force is applied over a distance of one meter.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force meter was historically used in engineering and physics to quantify energy, especially in contexts involving gravitational force, before the adoption of SI units. It derives from the kilogram-force, a non-SI unit of force, and the meter as a unit of distance.
Current Use
The kilogram-force meter is largely obsolete in modern scientific and engineering contexts, replaced by SI units such as the joule for energy. It may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications.
Btu (Th)
The Btu (th), or British thermal unit (th), is a unit of energy used primarily in the United States to measure heat content, equivalent to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
History/Origin
The Btu (th) originated from the British thermal unit, a traditional unit of heat in the British Imperial system, and has been used historically in heating, cooling, and energy industries to quantify energy content and heat transfer.
Current Use
Today, the Btu (th) is mainly used in the energy sector, particularly in heating and cooling systems, natural gas billing, and energy content measurement, especially within the United States.
