Why do I need to convert between MJ/m^3 and therm/ft^3?

Converting between these units allows users to compare energy densities and facilitate billing or equipment sizing across regions that use SI and US customary units.

What is a therm in terms of energy?

A therm is a unit of energy commonly defined in the US as 100,000 BTU, approximately equal to 105.5 megajoules.

What factors affect the accuracy of this unit conversion?

Variations in temperature, pressure, and gas composition can impact volumetric energy densities, so standard conditions should be specified for reliable results.
