Joule per cubic meter quick reference
| Joule per cubic meter | Megajoule per cubic meter | BTU per cubic foot | Kilojoule per cubic meter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 J/m³ | = 0.000001 MJ/m³ | ≈ 0.00002683919199 BTU/ft³ | = 0.001 kJ/m³ |
| 10 J/m³ | = 0.00001 MJ/m³ | ≈ 0.0002683919199 BTU/ft³ | = 0.01 kJ/m³ |
| 100 J/m³ | = 0.0001 MJ/m³ | ≈ 0.002683919199 BTU/ft³ | = 0.1 kJ/m³ |
| 1000 J/m³ | = 0.001 MJ/m³ | ≈ 0.02683919199 BTU/ft³ | = 1 kJ/m³ |
Where the joule per cubic meter fits
The next larger fuel energy per volume unit is the kilojoule per cubic meter (kJ/m³). 1 J/m³ = 0.001 kJ/m³, and 1 kJ/m³ = 1000 J/m³.
