What does one inch-ounce represent?

An inch-ounce is the energy or torque from one ounce-force acting over a one-inch displacement, often used for small-scale torque measurements.

What is a therm (US) used for?

The therm (US) measures heat energy, primarily for natural gas billing and heating system energy ratings in the United States.

Why is the converted value so small when going from inch-ounce to therm (US)?

Because the inch-ounce is a very small unit and the therm (US) is a large heat energy unit, conversions result in extremely small numeric values.
