How to Convert Megacalories to Therms

To convert a megacalorie measurement to a therm measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio. One megacalorie is equal to 0.039657 therms, so use this simple formula to convert:

therms = megacalories × 0.039657

The energy in therms is equal to the megacalories multiplied by 0.039657.

For example, here's how to convert 5 megacalories to therms using the formula above.

5 Mcal = (5 × 0.039657) = 0.198283 therms

Megacalories and therms are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

Megacalories

One megacalorie is equal to 1,000,000 calories, which are the heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius. One megacalorie is equal to 4.184 megajoules.

Megacalories can be abbreviated as Mcal, for example 1 megacalorie can be written as 1 Mcal.

Therms

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.
