What is a therm (US)?

The therm (US) is a unit of heat energy commonly used in the United States, defined as 100,000 British thermal units and approximately equal to 105.505 megajoules.

What does microjoule [µJ] measure?

Microjoule [µJ] measures very small amounts of energy, where 1 µJ is one millionth of a joule, the SI unit for energy, used especially in scientific and engineering fields.

Why convert therm (US) to microjoule [µJ]?

This conversion helps translate large-scale heating energy into precise scientific units to facilitate detailed energy evaluations and link industrial and research applications.
