Kilocalorie (Th)
A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a unit to quantify heat energy, especially in nutrition and thermodynamics. It was widely adopted in the early 20th century for dietary energy measurement.
Current Use
Today, the kilocalorie is primarily used in nutrition to express the energy content of food and drinks, although it is often simply called a 'calorie' in everyday language.
Therm
A therm 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 by the American Gas Association to standardize natural gas billing and measurement; it became widely adopted in North America for energy calculations.
Current Use
Today, the therm is still used in the natural gas industry for billing and energy measurement, although other units like gigajoules and cubic meters are also common globally.
