Convert therm (us) to j
Therm (US)
The US therm is a unit of energy used by the American gas industry equal to 100,000 BTU (IT), exactly 105,480,400 joules per the US legal definition, making it marginally different from other therm definitions. It is the standard unit for natural gas billing in the United States, where gas meters measure volume and thermodynamic conversion factors translate that to therms. The difference between the US therm and the EC therm is negligibly small for practical purposes.
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
