What are Megabtu and Therm

A Megabtu (MBtu) is a unit of energy defined as one million British Thermal Units (BTU). The British Thermal Unit is a traditional measure unit of heat; it is part of the British Imperial system of units. It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. MBtu is commonly used to express the energy content of fuels and for power generation.

A Therm (EC) is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the natural gas industry in the United States and Europe. One Therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). It is specifically defined using the 'EC' (Energie-Contor) measurement, which is based on the energy content of natural gas. Therms are often used for billing and regulation in the energy sector to measure large amounts of heat output.

History of Megabtu and Therm

The Mega Btu IT to Therm EC Converter traces its roots to the early needs of energy conversion for commercial use.
