What is a therm (EC)?

The therm (EC) is a European energy unit defined as 100,000 British thermal units, commonly used in natural gas billing and statistics.

What does kilogram-force centimeter represent?

It is a non-SI unit representing work done by a force of one kilogram-force acting through a distance of one centimeter.

Why convert therm (EC) to kilogram-force centimeter?

To relate large-scale gas energy units to smaller mechanical energy units used in engineering and hobbyist applications.
