What is a therm (US)?

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

What does ounce-force inch measure?

An ounce-force inch is a non-SI unit of energy or torque defined by the moment produced by one avoirdupois ounce acting through a one-inch lever arm.

Why are the converted numbers so large?

Because a therm (US) represents a much larger amount of energy than an ounce-force inch, the conversion results in very large values.

Can I use ounce-force inch values for mechanical applications?

Ounce-force inch is primarily a torque unit, so care must be taken when interpreting its values strictly as energy in mechanical contexts.
