Convert kilowatt-second to therm
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt-second [kW*s] to therm [thm], or Convert therm to kilowatt-second.
1 kW*s = 9.47816987913e-06 thm. To convert kilowatt-second to therm, multiply the value by 9.47816987913e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm = 105505.6 kW*s). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Kilowatt-Second
A kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to the energy transferred or converted when a power of one kilowatt is applied for one second.
History/Origin
The kilowatt-second has been used historically in physics and engineering to quantify energy, especially in contexts where power and time are relevant, but it is less common than other energy units like joules or kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
Today, the kilowatt-second is primarily used in specialized fields such as electrical engineering and energy calculations, often for convenience in measuring short-term energy transfer, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most applications.
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.
