Effortlessly Convert kp*m to thm with Our Accurate Tool

Discover the ease of converting Kilopond Meters to Therms with our precise Kilopond Meter to Therm Converter, designed to simplify your calculations.

What are Kilopond Meter and Therm

A Kilopond Meter (kp*m) is a unit of work or energy in the gravitational metric system. It is defined as the work done by the force of one kilopond (kp) acting over a distance of one meter (m). One kilopond is equivalent to the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity.

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry and is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). It represents the energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
