FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kJ to therm?
1 kJ equals 9.480434e-6 therm. To convert, multiply the value in kilojoules by 9.480434e-6.
How do I convert 1 kJ to therm?
1 kJ = 9.48043e-6 therm. For any value, multiply by 9.480434e-6.
How do I convert therm back to kJ?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 105480.4. So 1 therm = 105480 kJ.
When would I need to convert kilojoule 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).
