What is a therm (US)?

A therm (US) is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units, commonly used in the United States for measuring natural gas and heating energy.

What does a gram-force centimeter measure?

A gram-force centimeter is a non-SI unit of mechanical work or energy, defined as the work done by a force of one gram-force over a displacement of one centimeter.

Why convert therm (US) to gram-force centimeter?
