I would just be guessing here.
=CONVERT(1,"btu","flb")
25036.98

In my old "Handbook of Chemistry & Physics"
the closest conversion listed is
Btu to "Foot-Poundals", and listed as 25020.1

Hmmm. Still a little off.

However, if I flip the page, and reverse the conversion, the factor given is
a little less precise...
0.0000399417

but
=1/0.0000399417
returns
25,036.49

Much closer. So, my guess is that Microsoft copied the wrong conversion,
and didn't use enough digits.

There is an error in EXCEL 2002 convert function for BTU to flb.

1 BTU should convert to 778 flb; however, it is calculating 25037.

Can someone else confirm this error?

Thank you.
