How to Convert Kilocalories to Therms
To convert a measurement in kilocalories to a measurement in therms, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 3.9657E-5 therms/kilocalorie.
Since one kilocalorie is equal to 3.9657E-5 therms, you can use this simple formula to convert:
therms = kilocalories × 3.9657E-5
The energy in therms is equal to the energy in kilocalories multiplied by 3.9657E-5.
For example, here's how to convert 50,000 kilocalories to therms using the formula above.
therms = (50,000 kcal × 3.9657E-5) = 1.982833 therms
Kilocalories and therms are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilocalorie?
One kilocalorie, is equal to the heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius.
Kilocalories can be abbreviated as kcal; for example, 1 kilocalorie can be written as 1 kcal.
When being used to measure nutrition or metabolic processes, the large calorie is used, which is equal to one kilocalorie.

What Is a Therm?
One therm is a measure of heat energy equal to 100,000 BTU, which are equal to the amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. Therms are often used by natural gas companies to measure the heat equivalent of gas used.
The therm is a US customary unit of energy.
