Balancing?
Ever considered why rad manufacturers like Stelrad for example, still use both kW and btus?
Radiators have been rated in kW since 1980.
Never understand why some people still think in BTU.

From an engineering point of view the BTU is defined with respect to heat transfer in relation to mass and temperature rise in a specific time.Ever considered why rad manufacturers like Stelrad for example, still use both kW and btus?
Its to help the old people who cannot keep up to date with the current units!
[ By the way BTUs should be written in capitals. Stands for British Thermal Units and dates back to early steam days! ]
You talk the biggest load of **** for a top 100 gas man. Very amusing though.Ever considered why rad manufacturers like Stelrad for example, still use both kW and btus?

But it is a very useful situation to rate all gas and electricity appliances with the same unit of a kW.
Saves having to keep converting them.
About time this country properly converted from using the old miles and feet and even worse the pounds and stone!
Inhabited by dinosaurs who cannot embrace new thinking.
That's probably the issue.Thanks for all your replies (including the funny ones! )
I just teed off of a couple of 15mm's I found going to and from the kitchen rad.
