Therm (EC) is a unit of energy used in European contexts, defined as 100,000 British thermal units, and commonly applied for natural gas billing and energy statistics.

What does poundal foot measure?

Poundal foot [pdl*ft] is a unit of energy within the foot–pound–second system, measuring work done by a force of one poundal moving through one foot.

Why convert therm (EC) to poundal foot?

Converting therm (EC) to poundal foot helps translate natural gas energy values into FPS-based mechanical energy units useful for academic problems and analyzing historical engineering data.
