FAQ
What is the conversion factor from GJ to therm?
1 GJ equals 9.480434 therm. To convert, multiply the value in gigajoules by 9.480434.
How do I convert 1 GJ to therm?
1 GJ = 9.48043 therm. For any value, multiply by 9.480434.
How do I convert therm back to GJ?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.1054804. So 1 therm = 0.10548 GJ.
When would I need to convert gigajoule to US therm?
Energy conversions are needed when reconciling fuel/electrical billing, calculating thermal duties, and aligning calorimetry or HHV/LHV figures across data sources.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
