How to Convert Megajoules to Therms

To convert a megajoule measurement to a therm measurement, multiply the energy by the conversion ratio. One megajoule is equal to 0.009478 therms, so use this simple formula to convert:

therms = megajoules × 0.009478

The energy in therms is equal to the megajoules multiplied by 0.009478.

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

5 MJ = (5 × 0.009478) = 0.047391 therms

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

Megajoules

One megajoule is equal to 1,000,000 joules, which are the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.

The megajoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for 10⁹. Megajoules can be abbreviated as MJ, for example 1 megajoule can be written as 1 MJ.

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.
