What are Therm and Millijoule

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, to measure large quantities of energy. The therm is recognized in the United States and United Kingdom but is not widely used globally, with the joule being the preferred unit of energy internationally.

A millijoule (mJ) is a metric unit of energy that is equal to one thousandth of a joule. Since a joule is the standard SI unit of energy, a millijoule represents a very small amount of energy. It is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure work, heat, or energy on a smaller scale. The prefix 'milli' signifies a fraction of the base unit, where one joule is equivalent to 1,000 millijoules.

History of Therm and Millijoule

A brief history of the Therm to Millijoule conversion begins with the adoption of the therm for commercial energy measurement, particularly in the natural gas industry. The need to convert to millijoules arises with the increasing precision required in scientific and technical fields, where energy calculations must be precise and in SI units.
