Convert kilowatt-second to therm (US)
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt-second [kW*s] to therm (US) [thm (US)], or Convert therm (US) to kilowatt-second.
1 kW*s = 9.48043427973e-06 thm (US). To convert kilowatt-second to therm (US), multiply the value by 9.48043427973e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 thm (US) = 105480.4 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 (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
