What are Therm and Megajoule

A Therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy also known as a thermie. Historically, it was defined as the heat energy from burning 100 cubic feet of natural gas. In more technical terms, one Therm is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs). It is commonly used in the energy sector, especially for natural gas billing in the United Kingdom, and represents a significant amount of energy.

A Megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one million joules. A joule is the energy expended when a force of one newton is applied over a displacement of one meter. Therefore, a Megajoule is a substantial amount of energy used commonly in physics and engineering to represent large energy quantities.

History of Therm and Megajoule

The history of converting Therm EC to Megajoules stems from the need to standardize energy measurements. Over time, with the development of international systems, the conversion became essential for energy sector professionals to communicate effectively and manage resources across different regions and technologies.
