About Converting US therms to Quettajoules
US therm and Quettajoule 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 quettajoule is 1e+30 joule units.
Formula
quettajoules = us therms × 1.054804e-22
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 us therm equals 105480400 base units, and 1 quettajoule equals 1e+30 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct us therm-to-quettajoule factor of 1.054804e-22.
Simple example
1 therm × 1.054804e-22 = 1.054804e-22 QJ
1 us therm = 1.054804e-22 quettajoules.
Real-world example
100 therm × 1.054804e-22 = 1.054804e-20 QJ
100 us therms = 1.054804e-20 quettajoules.
