About International table BTU per cubic foot
The international table BTU per cubic foot (BTU(IT)/ft³) equals 1055.05585262 J / (0.3048)³ m³ ≈ 37258.95 J/m³. Standard in US and Canadian gas industry for expressing the gross calorific value of natural gas as distributed (pipeline quality gas ≈ 1000 BTU/ft³). 1 BTU(IT)/ft³ ≈ 37.26 kJ/m³ ≈ 10.35 Wh/m³.
About Kilowatt-hour per cubic metre
The kilowatt-hour per cubic metre (kWh/m³) equals exactly 3.6 × 10⁶ J/m³. Widely used in battery technology and electrical energy storage: Li-ion cells ≈ 200-700 kWh/m³, pumped hydro ≈ 0.27-1.5 Wh/m³. Also used for volumetric electricity price comparisons. 1 kWh/m³ = 3.6 MJ/m³ = 3600 kJ/m³.
