What are Therm and Foot-pound

Definition of Therm

A therm is a unit of heat energy that is commonly used to measure natural gas energy content. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. This unit is often used in the context of energy consumption for heating and billing in the utility sector.

Definition of Foot-pound

A foot-pound is a unit of energy in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the English or Imperial system. It measures the amount of work done when a one-pound force is exerted over a distance of one foot. In other words, it is the energy transferred upon applying a one-pound force through a displacement of one foot. This unit is commonly used in the United States for mechanical work and energy.
