The measure of gas input required is usually expressed in what units?

The measure of gas input required is typically expressed in Btu/h, or British thermal units per hour. This unit is essential in understanding the heating value of gas, as it quantifies the amount of energy produced when gas is combusted. In applications such as heating systems and appliances, knowing the input in Btu/h allows for the proper sizing of equipment to ensure efficient operation and effective heating.

While cubic meters, cubic feet, and gallons are units of volume or volume for liquids, they don’t convey the energy content produced from the gas when it is burned. Btu/h specifically indicates the energy flow rate, making it the most relevant measurement for assessing gas input in heating applications.
