What is a therm used for?

A therm is a non-SI energy unit commonly used to measure natural gas energy content for billing, contracts, and heating calculations.

How is a gram-force meter defined?

A gram-force meter is the work done by a one gram-force applied over a one meter distance, based on standard gravity.

Why convert therm to gram-force meter?

Converting therm to gram-force meter helps relate large natural gas energy amounts to smaller mechanical work units, useful for engineering calibration and legacy data comparison.
