Convert horsepower (metric) hour to therm (US)
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) hour [hp*h] to therm (US) [thm (US)], or Convert therm (US) to horsepower (metric) hour.
1 hp*h = 0.0251022512239 thm (US). To convert horsepower (metric) hour to therm (US), multiply the value by 0.0251022512239; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm (US) = 39.8370644561 hp*h). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
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.
