What is a ton (explosives)?

A ton (explosives), or ton of TNT, is a non-SI energy unit representing the energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as approximately 4.184 gigajoules.

What is a therm (US)?

The therm (US) is a non-SI heat energy unit equal to 100,000 British thermal units, mainly used in the United States for measuring natural gas and heating energy.

Why convert from ton (explosives) to therm (US)?

Conversion helps compare large-scale explosive energy in units relatable to heating energy, aiding in energy accounting and industrial or defense sector analyses.
