What is a therm (EC)?

A therm (EC) is a unit of energy used mainly in European contexts, defined as 100,000 British thermal units.

What does inch-pound [in*lbf] measure?

An inch-pound measures energy or torque equal to one pound-force applied over a one-inch distance.

Why convert therm (EC) to inch-pound?

Conversion helps translate large-scale natural gas energy values into smaller mechanical energy or torque units useful in precision engineering.
