What are Kiloton and Therm

Definition of Kiloton

A kiloton, often abbreviated as kt, is a unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene). Primarily used in the context of nuclear explosions and other large-scale energy releases, a single kiloton represents 4.184 terajoules of energy. This measurement provides a standardized way to compare the energy output of different events or devices with explosive origins.

Definition of Therm

A therm, specifically a Therm EC (European Commission), is a unit of heat energy commonly used in the energy industry. It is equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU) or approximately 105.5 megajoules. Thermo EC reflects the energy consumption of households and industries and is often used for natural gas billing purposes. Its definition aligns with energy measurement standards within the European Community.
