What is a therm (US)?

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

What does gram-force meter [gf*m] measure?

A gram-force meter (gf·m) is a unit of work or energy representing the work done by a force of one gram-force acting over one meter, based on standard gravity.

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

This conversion helps express large heat energy units in terms of mechanical work based on force and distance, useful in thermal systems and legacy mechanical engineering contexts.
