To find the Base per Custom relationship for a custom unit of thousands of BTU per day
(kBtud) and a base unit of BTU per hour (Btu/h), input the following:
Custom Unit = kBtud Base Unit = Btu/h
Because:
1 kBtu (Thousands of BTU)= 1000 Btu and
1 d (Day) = 24 h (Hours)
Then:
1 kBtud =
1 kBtud = 41.6667 Btu/h
Therefore:
Base per Custom =
41.6667
