What is a therm (EC)?

A therm (EC) is a unit of energy commonly used in Europe, defined as 100,000 British thermal units or roughly 105.5 megajoules, often used in natural gas metering and billing.

What does one ton (explosives) represent?

One ton (explosives), also called a ton of TNT, represents the approximate energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as about 4.184 billion joules.

Why should I be cautious when converting between therm (EC) and ton (explosives)?

Because the ton (explosives) is an approximate unit and TNT equivalences vary, conversions should be used carefully, considering the different contexts and possible rounding differences.

Supports applications ranging from natural gas billing to military and industrial explosive yield assessments.
Provides clear example calculations for easy understanding and verification.

Examples

10 Therm (EC) converts to approximately 0.252164436 Ton (explosives).
50 Therm (EC) converts to approximately 1.26082218 Ton (explosives).

Common Use Cases

Billing and metering of natural gas consumption for commercial or residential users.
Reporting natural gas energy statistics on regional or national levels.
Estimating explosive yields in military, mining, or demolition operations.
Analyzing energy release in seismic events or meteor airbursts through explosive energy equivalents.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to gain contextual understanding by comparing natural gas energy to explosive energy releases.
Be aware of the approximate nature of the ton (explosives) unit due to variations in TNT equivalence.
Double-check conversions when precision is critical since the unit definitions are approximate.

Limitations

The ton (explosives) unit is approximate because TNT equivalence depends on explosive type and conditions.
Energy comparisons using this conversion should consider differing usage contexts between natural gas and explosives.
Potential rounding errors may affect the accuracy of comparisons.
