Converting from Kilocalorie (kcal) to Therm (thm) | Energy

What is Kilocalorie (kcal)

A Kilocalorie, often abbreviated as kcal, is a unit of energy commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food. It is equal to 1000 small calories and is commonly used to measure the energy value of food consumed by humans.

What is Therm (thm)

A Therm, symbolized as thm, is a unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). It is typically used in the United States for measuring natural gas consumption and energy production.

Conversion Formulas

• To convert Kilocalorie (kcal) to Therm (thm):

1(kcal)=0.00003968321(thm)

X(kcal)=X×0.00003968321(thm)

• To convert Therm (thm) to Kilocalorie (kcal):

1(thm)=25199.58(kcal)

X(thm)=X×25199.58(kcal)

Examples

1. Converting 4 kcal to thm:

4(kcal)=4×0.00003968321=0.0001587328(thm)

2. Converting 15 kcal to thm:

15(kcal)=15×0.00003968321=0.0005952481(thm)

3. Converting 11 thm to kcal:

11(thm)=11×25199.58=277195.3(kcal)
