What is a therm in energy measurement?

A therm is a non-SI energy unit for natural gas, defined as 100,000 British thermal units (BTU), approximately 105.5 megajoules.

Why convert therm to fuel oil equivalent per US barrel?

This conversion helps compare and account for energy content between natural gas and fuel oil in various industrial and statistical applications.

Does this conversion consider fuel oil grade variations?

The tool uses average values; actual fuel oil energy content can vary with grade and density, which this converter does not specifically adjust for.
