We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

The BTU is imprecisely defined because the properties of water change depending on the temperature range over which the properties are measured. It is the heat to heat 1 lb of H2O 1 degree F, but temperature of the water matters, and there are about 10 "flavors" of BTU which differ in 4th significant figure and beyond.

However, 1 IT "steam table" BTU = 1.055056 kJ.
Measured under other conditions, values range from 1.05435 kJ to 1.05967 kJ.
