About Converting Millijoules to US therms
Millijoule 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: Millijoule is 0.001 joule units, and uS therm used for natural gas energy.
Formula
us therms = millijoules × 9.480434e-12
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 millijoule equals 0.001 base units, and 1 us therm equals 105480400 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct millijoule-to-us therm factor of 9.480434e-12.
Simple example
1 mJ × 9.480434e-12 = 9.480434e-12 therm
1 millijoule = 9.480434e-12 us therms.
Real-world example
100 mJ × 9.480434e-12 = 9.480434e-10 therm
100 millijoules = 9.480434e-10 us therms.

Frequently asked questions
How many us therms are in 1 millijoule?
1 millijoule equals 9.480434e-12 us therms, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert millijoule to us therm?
Multiply the millijoule value by 9.480434e-12. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert us therm back to millijoule?
Use the reverse factor: 1 us therm equals 105,480,400,000 millijoules. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a millijoule?
Millijoule (mJ) is a unit of engineering.
What is a us therm?
US therm (therm) is a unit of engineering.
Is the millijoule to us therm conversion exact?
Yes. Both millijoule and us therm are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 9.480434e-12 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.
