What are Therm and Kiloelectron-volt

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 United States for natural gas pricing and is also utilized in power generation and heating. One therm can be approximated as the energy equivalent of burning 100 cubic feet of natural gas.

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electron-volts (eV). It is commonly used in the field of physics and chemistry to measure particles' energies at an atomic scale. One electron-volt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron when it accelerates through an electric potential difference of one volt.

History of Therm and Kiloelectron-volt

The Therm to Kiloelectron-volt Converter is a tool that emerged from the need to bridge the gap between the energy measurement in the gas industry and the atomic-scale energy measurements in physics. The converter's development traces back to scientific advancements in understanding and quantifying energy levels in different contexts, thereby enabling precise conversions between these units of energy measurement.
