Kilogram-Force Centimeter
Kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilogram-force applied at a distance of one centimeter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilogram-force centimeter originated from the use of the kilogram-force as a unit of force in the metric system, combined with the centimeter as a unit of length, primarily used in mechanical and engineering contexts before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, kgf·cm is largely considered a non-SI unit and is used in certain engineering fields, such as torque measurement in automotive and mechanical applications, but is being gradually replaced by SI units like Newton-meter (Nm).
Mega Btu (It)
A mega Btu (MBtu) is a unit of energy equal to one million British thermal units, used primarily in the energy industry to measure large quantities of heat energy.
History/Origin
The mega Btu originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy. It became standardized in the energy sector to quantify large-scale energy quantities, especially in the oil, gas, and power industries, to facilitate easier measurement and comparison.
Current Use
Today, the MBtu is used mainly in the energy sector for billing, reporting, and analyzing large energy consumption or production, particularly in contexts such as natural gas, heating, and power generation.
