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

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.
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.
