Discover the ease of converting thermal energy (th) to mechanical work (kgf·cm) with our intuitive Therm to Kilogram-force Centimeter Converter, designed to simplify your calculations.
A therm is a non-SI unit of heat energy, primarily used in the United States. It is equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU) or approximately 105.5 megajoules. Thermochemically, a therm can be defined as the heat energy required to raise the temperature of 100,000 pounds of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
Definition of Kilogram-force CentimeterA kilogram-force centimeter (kgf·cm) is a unit of torque representing the rotational force generated by one kilogram force acting at a perpendicular distance of one centimeter from a pivot point. It is a metric unit that is commonly used in engineering and physics to express mechanical rotational energy.
