Abstract: Energy is one word that has been frequently heard during the past year. As the supply of fuels becomes scarce it is imperative that the energy per measurement unit be accurately accounted for and utilized at the most efficient levels possible. To utilize it efficiently we must first know the energy content per measurement unit. The unit we are concerned with is called the British Thermal Unit. The BTU is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water at its maximum density one degree Fahrenheit. To illustrate the new importance placed on the BTU, many present day gas contracts now include a price adjustment for the variance in the energy unit of the gas sold. With this new emphasis on the BTU per cubic foot, the verification of the instrument involved has likewise taken on new importance.
