Convert kiloelectron-volt to therm (US)
Please provide values below to convert kiloelectron-volt [keV] to therm (US) [thm (US)], or Convert therm (US) to kiloelectron-volt.
1 keV = 1.5189e-24 thm (US). To convert kiloelectron-volt to therm (US), multiply the value by 1.5189e-24; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm (US) = 6.5836e+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 = 1.5189e-24 thm (US)
- 1 thm (US) = 6.5836e+23 keV
- 10 keV = 1.5189e-23 thm (US)

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 (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.
Frequently Asked Questions
