What are Erg and Therm

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In scientific terms, it is equal to 10^-7 joules.

Definition of Therm

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in heating and fuel contexts, equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). It represents a significant amount of energy, often used in discussions about natural gas and its energy content.

Erg to Therm Conversion Table

Erg Therm (EC)
1e+9 9.48e-6
2e+9 1.90e-5
5e+9 4.74e-5
1e+10 9.48e-5
2e+10 1.90e-4
5e+10 4.74e-4
1e+11 9.48e-4
2e+11 1.90e-3
5e+11 4.74e-3
1e+12 9.48e-3

Conversion of Erg to Therm

1 erg = 9.48 × 10 -11 therms (EC)
1 therm (EC) = 1.055 × 10 12 ergs

Example 1:
convert 1e+12 ergs to therms (EC):
1e+12 ergs = 1e+12 × 9.48 × 10 -11 therms (EC) = 0.0948 therms (EC)

Example 2:
convert 5e+12 ergs to therms (EC):
5e+12 ergs = 5e+12 × 9.48 × 10 -11 therms (EC) = 0.474 therms (EC)

History of Erg and Therm

The Erg to Therm EC Converter has its origins in the need for a tool to bridge the gap between different energy units. As ergs are part of the CGS system and therms are often used in the natural gas industry, this converter simplifies the conversion process for engineers, scientists, and energy professionals.
