What are Therm and Erg

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 energy sector, particularly in natural gas and heating industries. The therm is often used to measure large quantities of energy output such as natural gas consumption.

An erg is a unit of energy and work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. One erg is defined as the work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS system, an erg equates to 10^-7 joules, the SI unit of energy, making it a very small energy measure often used in physics.

History of Therm and Erg

A brief history of the Therm to Erg conversion begins with the creation of the therm as a unit of heat energy, primarily used in the gas industry. Erg, in the CGS system, was used for scientific measurements of small energy values. The necessity of converting between these two units arose as scientists and engineers sought to standardize energy measurements across various fields.
