What are Therm and Ton

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, cooling, and natural gas industries to measure the amount of heat energy that is produced. One therm can be equivalent to 105.5 megajoules or 29.307 kilowatt-hours, providing a standardized measure for comparing energy production and consumption.

A ton of explosives is a unit of energy commonly used to describe the energy release of explosions. One ton of explosives is equivalent to the energy released by detonating one ton of trinitrotoluene (TNT). It is equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is often used in various fields such as mining, military, and engineering to quantify the power and impact of explosive materials.

History of Therm and Ton

The Therm to Ton explosives Converter is a tool that evolved from the need to compare different energy units. Historically, energy produced by natural gas was measured in therms, while the energy from explosives was measured in tons of TNT. This converter was developed to bridge the gap, allowing easy conversion between these units for various applications.

Solved Examples th to te

Example 1:
Convert 200 therms to tons of explosives:
200 therms = 200 × 2.390057e-5 TE = 0.004780114 TE

Example 2:
Convert 5000 therms to tons of explosives:
5000 therms = 5000 × 2.390057e-5 TE = 0.11950285 TE
