What are Therm and Calorie

Definition of Therm

A 'Therm' is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is commonly used in the natural gas industry, primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 BTU (British Thermal Units) or approximately 105.5 megajoules. It serves as a convenient measure for large-scale energy use, such as in heating homes or fueling industrial processes.

Definition of Calorie

A 'Calorie' (symbol: cal) is a unit of energy that is commonly used in food energy content. The small calorie or gram calorie (usually denoted “cal”) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. There is also the large Calorie (with a capital C), or kilocalorie (kcal), which is used in nutrition and is equivalent to 1,000 small calories.
