The most common unit for heat is a calorie. One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree. this should not be confused with the word calorie used to measure food intake - that is actually the kilocalorie.
Units of heat include BTU (British Thermal Unit), calorie, and therm.

What is most common unit used to measure heat?
there is a device called a hydrometer that measures humidity. theres a unit to measure heat called a calorie. those are two to measure it!
What is the largest unit for measuring heat?
The Rydberg unit.
What is the amount of energy required to change a material from a liquid to a gas?
Latent Heat of Evaporation, or Evaporation Enthalpy. It is given in units of energy over unit of mass, i.e., KJ/Kg.
What are the units specikfic heat is commonly expressed in?
Specific heat capacity is the heat capacity per unit mass, and is expressed as
What unit is specific heat measured in?
In SI, specific heat capacity is measured in joules per kilogram kelvin.
What is heat what are unit of heat energy called?
Heat is molecular motion; the units are BTU and calories.

Why unit of heat is the same with energy?
Heat is a energy form.So unit of heat is the same as energy
What is the unit to to measure thermal energy?
The customary unit is called the Btu, or British thermal unit. The metric unit is the joule. The joule is the standard metric unit for measuring any type of energy, including heat.
What is the SI unit for heat?
The SI unit for heat is the same as for energy, the joule (newton-meter). The SI unit for temperature (comparative heat potential) is the Kelvin (K).
What is heat exchanger duty?
The duty of a heat exchanger can be defined in an easy way as "The amount of heat exchanged from a fluid at a higher temperature to the fluid at lower temperature in unit time by a heat exchanger is called its duty"
What unit of measurement is used for heat?
Heat is a form of energy and so the appropriate unit is a Joule.
What is a unit of heat'?
The most common units of heat are the Calorie, Joule and BTU (British thermal unit) heat is a form of energy.
What are the unit used to express heat?
"Heat", as used in physics, refers to heat energy - and the unit for any type of energy is the joule.
How does one measure the heat given off by a pepper What are the units called?
A somewhat imprecise method of measuring a pepper's heat is via the "scoville unit", a more precise method of measuring heat is via HPCL and will give the concentration of the active heat producing compounds called capsaicins.
What is relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity?
The "specific heat capacity" is simply the heat capacity per unit - it might be per mass unit, per volume unit, or per amount of moles.
Unit of heat starting with t?
A unit of heat starting with the letter t would probably be temperature.
