Gas and Energy Cost Estimator

Converts the published gas rate to heat input in Btu/h, then to a cost per hour, per production day and per year at your own tariff.

Gas rate (m³/h)

Conversion: 1 m³ = 35.3147 ft³ at an average 1,036 Btu/ft³ for natural gas delivered to US consumers, which is 36,586 Btu per m³ (US Energy Information Administration). Standby, pilot and start-up burn are not modelled, so treat the result as a running-hours floor. Back to the soft waffle production line page · Send these numbers to an engineer
