Re: British Thermal Units

Since my Mears radiator sizing calculator is Imperial (and I'm not about to spend several tens of squids on a new metric one) I for one am grateful that rads are still specified in both kW and BTU - saves wasting time on the conversion after the sizing.

Some of us old farts do still use, and think in the old units as well as the new. Unlike kids of today who can only think? in one system.

Some of us still remember cgs units.
