Converting from Calorie (cal) to Therm (thm) | Energy

What is Calorie (cal)

A Calorie (cal) is a unit of energy commonly used in nutrition to measure the amount of energy in food. It is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

What is Therm (thm)

A Therm (thm) is a larger unit of energy used to measure gas consumption. It represents 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs) or about 105.5 megajoules. It is typically used in the context of natural gas consumption for heating purposes.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Calorie (cal) to Therm (thm), you can use the following formulas:

• Therm (thm)=Calorie (cal)×0.00000003968321

• Calorie (cal)=Therm (thm)×25199580

Examples

1. Converting 16 calories to therms:

16 cal=16×0.00000003968321 thm=0.0000006349313 thm

2. Converting 5 calories to therms:

5 cal=5×0.00000003968321 thm=0.000000198416 thm

3. Converting 12 calories to therms:

12 cal=12×0.00000003968321 thm=0.0000004761985 thm
