Convert gigajoule to therm (US)
Please provide values below to convert gigajoule [GJ] to therm (US) [thm (US)], or Convert therm (US) to gigajoule.
1 GJ = 9.48043427973 thm (US). To convert gigajoule to therm (US), multiply the value by 9.48043427973; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm (US) = 0.1054804 GJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 GJ = 9.48043427973 thm (US)
- 1 thm (US) = 0.1054804 GJ
- 10 GJ = 94.8043427973 thm (US)

Gigajoule
A gigajoule (GJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billion joules, used to measure large amounts of energy such as in power generation and fuel consumption.
History/Origin
The gigajoule was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a standard measure for large-scale energy quantities, especially in scientific and industrial contexts, gaining prominence in the 20th century.
Current Use
Gigajoules are commonly used today to quantify energy in fields like energy production, consumption, and engineering, particularly for large-scale systems such as power plants, fuel storage, and energy audits.
Therm (Us)
The therm (US) is a unit of energy used primarily to measure natural gas consumption, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm was introduced in the early 20th century as a practical unit for billing natural gas, standardizing energy measurement in the United States. It has been widely adopted in the energy industry for commercial and residential gas usage.
Current Use
Today, the therm (US) is still used in the natural gas industry for billing and energy calculations, although it has been largely supplemented by the gigajoule and other SI units in scientific contexts.
