What is a poundal foot?

A poundal foot is a unit of energy in the FPS system, representing the work done by a force of one poundal acting over a displacement of one foot.

Where is therm (EC) used?

Therm (EC) is mainly used in Europe within the natural gas industry for billing, metering, and energy reporting.

Why are conversions from poundal foot to therm (EC) producing very small numbers?

Because poundal foot measures small-scale energy and therm (EC) is a very large energy unit, converting between them results in very small decimal values.
