词条	British thermal unit
释义	British thermal unit unit of measurement a measure of the quantity of heat, defined since 1956 as approximately equal to 1,055 joules (joule), or 252 gram calories. It was defined formerly as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water 1° F. The definition was changed because it was dependent on the initial temperature of the water.
