About Converting US therms to Attojoules
US therm and Attojoule 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: US therm used for natural gas energy, and attojoule is 1e-18 joule units.
Formula
attojoules = us therms × 1.054804e+26
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 us therm equals 105480400 base units, and 1 attojoule equals 1e-18 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct us therm-to-attojoule factor of 1.054804e+26.
Simple example
1 therm × 1.054804e+26 = 1.054804e+26 aJ
1 us therm = 1.054804e+26 attojoules.
Real-world example
100 therm × 1.054804e+26 = 1.054804e+28 aJ
100 us therms = 1.054804e+28 attojoules.

Frequently asked questions
How many attojoules are in 1 us therm?
1 us therm equals 1.054804e+26 attojoules, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert us therm to attojoule?
Multiply the us therm value by 1.054804e+26. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert attojoule back to us therm?
Use the reverse factor: 1 attojoule equals 9.480434e-27 us therms. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a us therm?
US therm (therm) is a unit of engineering.
What is a attojoule?
Attojoule (aJ) is a unit of engineering.
Is the us therm to attojoule conversion exact?
Yes. Both us therm and attojoule are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1.054804e+26 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.
