What are Therm and Ton

Definition of Therm

A 'Therm' is a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is defined as exactly 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It is commonly used in the heating, energy production, and utilities sectors. The therm is recognized in the United States and by the European Union. This unit of measurement is especially utilized in natural gas pricing as well as for its energy content.

Definition of Ton

A 'Ton of TNT' is a unit of energy defined by the explosive energy release of one ton (2,000 pounds or approximately 907.185 kilograms) of TNT. It is used to quantify the energy, typically in the context of explosions or the output of nuclear and other large-scale explosive events. One ton of TNT equates to 4.184 gigajoules.
