What is a therm (EC)?

Therm (EC) is a European energy unit equal to 100,000 British thermal units, used mainly in natural gas billing and energy statistics.

Why convert therm (EC) to kilocalorie (IT)?

This conversion translates natural gas energy units into a form useful for thermodynamic calculations, heat balance studies, and compatibility with older scientific literature.

Are there any accuracy concerns when converting these units?

Yes, differences in calorie definitions and variations in temperature and pressure conditions can affect conversion precision.
