What are Kiloelectron-volt and Therm

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electronvolts. It's commonly used in the field of particle physics to describe the kinetic energy of particles. One kiloelectron-volt is equivalent to 1.60218 x 10^-16 joules. This small energy scale is ideal for expressing energies of subatomic particles and electromagnetic radiation.

A therm is a unit of heat energy that's commonly used in the power, steam generation, and heating industries. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) or approximately 105.5 megajoules. It's a convenient measure for large-scale energy usage and is often used for billing natural gas and other fuel consumption.

History of Kiloelectron-volt and Therm

The Kiloelectron-volt to Therm EC Converter has its roots in the need to bridge the gap between particle physics and energy sector measurements. It allows for the translation of the energy of particles, measured in kiloelectron-volts, to therms, a unit more familiar to those in the heating and energy industries.
