The Btu (IT) is a British thermal unit defined by the International Steam Tables, used to measure energy in thermodynamic and engineering contexts.

What is a therm used for?

A therm is a unit of energy commonly used to quantify natural gas consumption for billing and contract purposes.

Can the conversion rate between Btu (IT) and therm vary?

Yes, slight variations can occur due to different BTU definitions and local reference conditions.
