Discover the ease of converting Therm EC to Kilowatt-seconds with our quick and accurate 'thm to kW·s' tool, designed for your convenience by Newtum.
A therm is a unit of heat energy that is commonly used in heating and fuel industries. One therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 100,000 pounds of water by 1°F. The term 'Therm' is derived from the Greek word 'thermos', meaning heat.
Definition of Kilowatt-secondA kilowatt-second (kW·s) is a unit of energy equal to one kilowatt of power expended for one second of time. It is a measure used to quantify small amounts of energy. For example, if a device uses one kilowatt of power and operates for one second, it will have consumed one kilowatt-second of energy. This unit is part of the metric system and is particularly useful in electrical applications.

1 therm EC = 105,505,585.257348 joules
1 joule = 0.0000000094781712 therms EC
Example 1:
Convert 1 therm EC to kilowatt-seconds:
1 therm EC = 1 × 105,505,585.257348 / 1000 kW·s = 105,505.59 kW·s
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 therms EC to kilowatt-seconds:
2.5 therms EC = 2.5 × 105,505,585.257348 / 1000 kW·s = 263,763.96 kW·s
The Therm EC to Kilowatt-second Converter is rooted in the need to bridge different energy measurement systems. Historically, therms were predominantly used in the gas industry, while electrical energy was quantified in kilowatt-seconds. The converter serves to simplify comparisons and conversions between these units, facilitating a clearer understanding of energy consumption across various sectors.
Explore the practical applications of converting Therm EC to Kilowatt-seconds in various industries and everyday scenarios.
Example 1:
Converting 0.5 therm EC to kilowatt-seconds:
0.5 therm EC = 0.5 × 116,222 kW·s = 58,111 kW·s
Example 2:
Converting 2 therms EC to kilowatt-seconds:
2 therms EC = 2 × 116,222 kW·s = 232,444 kW·s
What is a Therm EC?
A Therm EC is a unit of heat energy that is particularly used in the natural gas industry. One Therm EC is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs).
How is energy in Kilowatt-seconds calculated from Therms EC?
To calculate Kilowatt-seconds from Therms EC, you multiply the number of Therms EC by 116,222, which is the number of Kilowatt-seconds in one Therm EC.
Can I convert Kilowatt-seconds back to Therms EC?
Yes, you can convert Kilowatt-seconds back to Therms EC by dividing the number of Kilowatt-seconds by 116,222.
