Converting from Gigajoule (GJ) to Therm (thm) | Energy

What is Gigajoule (GJ)

Gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) and is equal to one billion joules. It is commonly used in the energy sector to measure large quantities of energy.

What is Therm (thm)

Therm (thm) is a unit of energy used mainly for billing purposes in the United States. It is equal to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) and is commonly used in the natural gas industry to measure energy consumption.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Gigajoules (GJ) and Therms (thm) can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from GJ to thm: thm=GJ×9.478171

• To convert from thm to GJ: GJ=thm×0.1055056

Examples

1. Converting 5 Gigajoules (GJ) to Therms (thm):

5(GJ)=5×9.478171=47.39086(thm)

2. Converting 4 Therms (thm) to Gigajoules (GJ):

4(thm)=4×0.1055056=0.4220223(GJ)

3. Converting 7 Gigajoules (GJ) to Therms (thm):

7(GJ)=7×9.478171=66.3472(thm)

4. Converting 5 Therms (thm) to Gigajoules (GJ):

5(thm)=5×0.1055056=0.5275279(GJ)

By using these conversion formulas, you can easily interchange between Gigajoules and Therms in energy calculations.
