What is a therm (EC)?

A therm (EC) is a European energy unit equal to 100,000 British thermal units, commonly used for natural gas billing and energy statistics.

What does pound-force inch [lbf*in] represent?

Pound-force inch is a US customary unit of mechanical energy, corresponding to the work done by one pound-force acting over one inch.

Why convert therm (EC) to pound-force inch?

This conversion helps translate large natural gas energy units into small mechanical energy values for engineering calculations and legacy data use.
