What are kiloliter and therm

Definition of kiloliter

A kiloliter is a unit of volume equivalent to one thousand liters. It is commonly used in metric countries to measure liquids, especially in large quantities. The kiloliter, with the symbol 'kl', is significant in industries such as petroleum and water treatment, as it helps in the quantification and management of resources on a substantial scale.

Definition of therm

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). It is often used in the context of energy consumption for heating and denotes the heat energy produced by burning natural gas. In the United States, the therm is used for billing purposes for natural gas and is a standard measure for discussing energy production and consumption.
