One btu is is the QuantityOfHeat required to raise the temperature of 1 avoirdupois poundMass of liquid water by 1 degreeFahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.

Because this value must be determined experimentally and varies with temperature, several standardized values of the btu have arisen. This is the value based on the International Steam Table calorie, defined by the Fifth International Conference on the Properties of Steam.

The conventional value for the pressure exerted by a 1 mm high column of mercury.

Per Wikipedia [4], one mmHg (millimeter of mercury) is defined as:

The pressure exerted at the base of a column of fluid exactly 1 mm high, when the density of the fluid is exactly 13.5951 g/cm^3, at a place where the acceleration of gravity is exactly 9.80665 m/s^2.

The chosen fluid density approximately corresponds to that of mercury at 0 deg. Under most conditions, 1 mmHg is approximately equal to 1 torr.
