What Does The Term MTB/HR Represent In LPG Flow Reading

02/17/2015 1:46 AM

I've been trying to find the definition of the instantaneous flow rate MTB/HR and cannot find in any normal search.

Does anyone know the meaning ?.

Maybe it's a typo for MBtu/h; i.e., millions of British thermal units per hour.
