About Converting US therms to Gigajoules
US therm and Gigajoule both measure energy, and the conversion is especially useful for comparing nutrition labels (kilocalories) against scientific energy figures (joules). Specifically: US therm used for natural gas energy, and gigajoule is 1000000000 joule units.
Formula
gigajoules = us therms × 0.1054804
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 us therm equals 105480400 base units, and 1 gigajoule equals 1000000000 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct us therm-to-gigajoule factor of 0.1054804.
Simple example
1 therm × 0.1054804 = 0.1054804 GJ
1 us therm = 0.1054804 gigajoules.
Real-world example
100 therm × 0.1054804 = 10.54804 GJ
100 us therms = 10.54804 gigajoules.
