How broadly is the convention accepted?

Is this a convention that is only seen in the Canadian boiler industry?

Is the US boiler industry also using this convention?

Have you ever seen it anyplace else?

I mean, if it is confined to the Canadian boiler industry, and since this forum is regularly read by a world-wide audience, maybe referencing your frame of reference would be useful in avoiding confusion.

Maybe something like:

7kWh x 3.412btu = 23.8Kbtu or, 23.8Mbtu CBS (CanadianBoilerSpeak)

Just a suggestion to avoid any intercontinental confusion.
