Convert kilojoule to therm (US)
Please provide values below to convert kilojoule [kJ] to therm (US) [thm (US)], or Convert therm (US) to kilojoule.
1 kJ = 9.48043427973e-06 thm (US). To convert kilojoule to therm (US), multiply the value by 9.48043427973e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm (US) = 105480.4 kJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Kilojoule
A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules, used to quantify energy transfer or work done.
History/Origin
The kilojoule was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to provide a convenient scale for measuring energy, especially in fields like nutrition and physics, replacing the joule for larger quantities.
Current Use
The kilojoule is widely used in nutrition to express food energy content, in physics and engineering to measure energy transfer, and in various scientific and industrial applications within the 'Energy' converter category.
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.
