What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to translate volumetric energy content measurements from therms per cubic foot to therms per UK gallon. It helps compare and convert fuel energy content based on volume units commonly used in gaseous and liquid fuels.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in therm/cubic foot that you want to convert.
-
Select therm/cubic foot as the input unit and therm/gallon (UK) as the output unit.
-
Click convert to see the energy content expressed per UK gallon.
-
Use the converted results for comparison, billing, or system sizing.
Key Features
-
Converts energy content units between therm/cubic foot and therm/gallon (UK).
-
Uses a defined conversion factor for accurate conversions.
-
Applicable for fuel energy density and volume-based billing.
-
Supports energy efficiency and performance assessments in fuel systems.
Examples
-
Convert 5 therm/ft^3: 5 × 0.1605436532 = 0.802718266 therm/gallon (UK).
-
Convert 10 therm/ft^3: 10 × 0.1605436532 = 1.605436532 therm/gallon (UK).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing natural gas energy content per volume for quality assessments.
-
Converting gas volumes to energy units for precise billing and metering.
-
Sizing boilers, burners, or heat exchangers based on fuel energy per volume.
-
Estimating heating energy availability when delivered by UK gallons.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure fuel composition matches standard conditions for reliable conversion.
-
Use standard temperature and pressure references when applying the conversion.
-
Verify that input units are correctly selected to avoid calculation errors.
Limitations
-
Fuel composition variability can influence actual energy content.
-
Volume measurements may vary due to differing temperature and pressure standards.
-
Conversion accuracy depends on standard definitions of therm and UK gallon.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does therm/cubic foot measure?
-
Therm/cubic foot expresses the amount of energy, in therms, contained within a cubic foot of gaseous fuel.
-
Why convert therm/ft³ to therm/gallon (UK)?
-
Conversion is useful for comparing energy content in different volume units, aiding billing, efficiency calculations, and fuel system sizing in regions using UK gallons.
-

-
1 therm/cubic foot equals approximately 0.1605436532 therm/gallon (UK).
Key Terminology
-
Therm/cubic foot [therm/ft^3]
-
Energy content expressed as therms contained in one cubic foot of gaseous fuel.
-
Therm/gallon (UK)
-
Energy content expressed as therms per UK (imperial) gallon of fuel, where one UK gallon equals 4.54609 liters.
-
Therm
-
A unit of heat energy defined as 100,000 British thermal units (BTU).
