What are Therm and Pound-force-foot

Definition of Therm

A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy also known as thermie. It is commonly used in heating and cooling industries and is equivalent to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU). Specifically, one therm is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 100,000 pounds of water by 1°F. The therm is also used in natural gas pricing and can be converted to other energy units like joules or calories.

Definition of Pound-force-foot

A pound-force foot (lbf·ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force in the Imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It represents the torque created by one pound-force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. This unit is commonly used in mechanical engineering and automotive industries to specify the rotational force applied to objects such as bolts, nuts, and engine components. Understanding this unit is critical for ensuring the integrity and performance of mechanical systems.
