How to Convert Therms to British Thermal Units

To convert a measurement in therms to a measurement in british thermal units, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 100,000 british thermal units/therm.

Since one therm is equal to 100,000 british thermal units, you can use this simple formula to convert:

british thermal units = therms × 100,000

The energy in british thermal units is equal to the energy in therms multiplied by 100,000.

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

british thermal units = (5 therms × 100,000) = 500,000 BTU

How Many British Thermal Units Are in a Therm?

There are 100,000 british thermal units in a therm, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 therms = 100,000 BTU

Therms and british thermal units are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

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.

What Is a British Thermal Unit?

British thermal units are a measure of heat energy. Specifically, one british thermal unit is equal to the amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. They are often used as a way to rate the energy heat producing appliances such furnaces, and to price heating fuels such as natural gas.

The british thermal unit is a US customary unit of energy. British thermal units can be abbreviated as BTU; for example, 1 british thermal unit can be written as 1 BTU.
