I was looking at an energy related website and they mentioned something called a mmBTU which they expressed as a million metric BTU's. How is a mmBTU different from a normal BTU and why not just use Joules or Gigajoules? Mark Henschel On Sat, Nov 29, 2014 at 1:36 PM, Martin Vlietstra

I believe they are wrong; there is no metric BTU. In Customary, M is commonly used as the Roman numeral meaning thousand, so MM is thousand thousand or a million. This is VERY common with BTU. From: Mark Henschel mwhensch...@gmail.com To: U.S. Metric
