How to Convert BTUs to Therms
To convert British Thermal Units (BTU) to therms, divide the number of BTUs by 100,000. This is because 1 therm is defined as 100,000 BTUs.
Formula
Therms = BTUs ÷ 100,000
or
thm = BTU ÷ 100,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in BTUs
- Divide that number by 100,000
- The result is the equivalent energy in therms
Examples
- 50,000 BTU = 50,000 ÷ 100,000 = 0.5 thm
- 100,000 BTU = 100,000 ÷ 100,000 = 1 thm
- 500,000 BTU = 500,000 ÷ 100,000 = 5 thm
