What is a therm and where is it used?

A therm is a non-SI energy unit, equal to 100,000 BTU, mainly used to measure natural gas energy content and consumption in utility billing and energy contracts.

What does a nanojoule measure?

A nanojoule (nJ) is an SI-derived energy unit equal to one billionth of a joule, useful for quantifying very small energy amounts in scientific research and microelectronics.

Why convert therm to nanojoule?

Converting therm to nanojoule helps bridge large natural gas energy quantities to nano-scale energy units for applications like laser pulse measurements and nanoscale device energy analysis.
