About Converting Kilojoules to US therms
Kilojoule and US therm both measure energy, and the conversion is especially useful for comparing nutrition labels (kilocalories) against scientific energy figures (joules). Specifically: Kilojoule is 1000 joule units, and uS therm used for natural gas energy.
Formula
us therms = kilojoules × 0.00000948043427973
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kilojoule equals 1000 base units, and 1 us therm equals 105480400 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kilojoule-to-us therm factor of 0.00000948043427973.
Simple example
1 kJ × 0.00000948043428 = 0.0000094804 therm
1 kilojoule = 0.0000094804 us therms.
Real-world example
100 kJ × 0.00000948043428 = 0.0009480434 therm
100 kilojoules = 0.0009480434 us therms.
