Explore the precision of converting Th to kp·m with Newtum's Therm to Kilopond Meter Converter. Discover this tool's capabilities and enhance your calculations.
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 industry and can be used to quantify energy in terms of natural gas consumption. The therm is also applied in the field of thermodynamics to measure large quantities of heat energy transferred or converted.
Definition of KilopondmeterA kilopond meter (kp·m) is a unit of work or energy in the gravitational metric system. It is defined as the work done by a force of one kilopond acting over a distance of one meter. In essence, it is the energy required to move a one kilopond weight through a distance of one meter against the force of gravity. It is equivalent to 9.80665 joules, the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI).
