About Converting Kilojoules to US therms
Kilojoule and US therm both measure a quantity used in structural or mechanical engineering — commonly stress, pressure, force, torque, power, or energy — where converting between the unit conventions used in different regions, industries, or equipment specifications is a routine part of design work. 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.

Frequently asked questions
How many us therms are in 1 kilojoule?
1 kilojoule equals 0.0000094804 us therms, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kilojoule to us therm?
Multiply the kilojoule value by 0.00000948043428. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert us therm back to kilojoule?
Use the reverse factor: 1 us therm equals 105,480.4 kilojoules. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kilojoule?
Kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of engineering.
What is a us therm?
US therm (therm) is a unit of engineering.
Is the kilojoule to us therm conversion exact?
Yes. Both kilojoule and us therm are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00000948043428 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
Why do engineering unit conventions vary so much by region and industry?
Pressure, force, and stress can be expressed in metric (pascal, newton), US customary (psi, pound-force), or older and industry-specific units (atmosphere, torr, kip) depending on the country, industry, and even the equipment manufacturer, which is why engineers routinely need to convert between them when working across specs from different sources.
