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.
Kilopond Meter
A kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of torque or moment of force, representing the force of one kilopond applied at a distance of one meter from the pivot point.
History/Origin
The kilopond meter was used in the past within the metric system to quantify torque, especially in mechanical and engineering contexts, before the adoption of the new SI units. It is based on the kilopond, a gravitational unit of force equivalent to the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity.
Current Use
The kilopond meter is largely obsolete and rarely used today. Torque is now typically measured in newton meters (N·m) within the SI system, which is the standard in scientific and engineering applications.
