Converting from Quad (quad) to Therm (thm)

What is Quad (quad)

Quad, short for quadrillion British thermal units (BTUs), is a unit of energy that is commonly used in the energy sector to quantify large-scale energy resources and consumption. Specifically, 1 quad is equivalent to 10^15 BTUs. The quad is particularly useful for comparing energy production and consumption on a national or global scale.

What is Therm (thm)

Therm is another unit of energy, primarily used in the context of natural gas. One therm is defined as 100,000 BTUs, which makes it smaller than the quad. The therm is an important unit in the energy industry for measuring gas consumption in households and businesses.

Conversion Formulas

To convert between these two units, the following formulas can be used:

• To convert from quad to therm:

  thm=quad×1010

• To convert from therm to quad:

  quad=thm×10−10

Examples

1. Converting 1 quad to therm:

thm=1quad×1010=10,000,000,000 thm

2. Converting 13 quad to therm:

thm=13quad×1010=130000000000 thm

3. Converting 9 quad to therm:

thm=9quad×1010=90000000000 thm

4. Converting 1 thm to quad:

quad=1thm×10−10=0.0000000001 quad

5. Converting 13 thm to quad:

quad=13thm×10−10=0.0000000013 quad

6. Converting 6 thm to quad:

quad=6thm×10−10=0.0000000006 quad
