Convert kiloelectron-volt to therm
Please provide values below to convert kiloelectron-volt [keV] to therm [thm], or Convert therm to kiloelectron-volt.
1 keV = 1.5186e-24 thm. To convert kiloelectron-volt to therm, multiply the value by 1.5186e-24; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm = 6.5851e+23 keV). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 keV = 1.5186e-24 thm
- 1 thm = 6.5851e+23 keV
- 10 keV = 1.5186e-23 thm
- 100 keV = 1.5186e-22 thm
How to Convert Kiloelectron-Volt to Therm
1 keV = 1.51857023134317e-24 thm
Example: convert 15 keV to thm:
15 keV = 15 × 1.51857023134317e-24 thm = 2.27785534701476e-23 thm

Kiloelectron-Volt
A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts, commonly used in atomic and nuclear physics to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The electron-volt was introduced in the early 20th century as a convenient unit for expressing energies at the atomic scale, with the prefix 'kilo' added later to denote 1,000 electron-volts, especially in high-energy physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
The keV is widely used today in fields such as X-ray spectroscopy, astrophysics, and particle physics to quantify energies of particles, photons, and nuclear processes.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
