What is a therm used for?

A therm is a non-SI energy unit used mainly to measure natural gas consumption for billing and energy calculations.

Why convert therms to megajoules?

Converting to megajoules allows energy data to be compatible with scientific, engineering, and industrial metrics that use SI units.

Can the conversion factor vary?

Yes, the exact energy content of a therm can change slightly depending on the BTU definition and local conditions.
