How to Convert Joules to Therms
To convert joules to therms, divide the number of joules by 1.055 x 108. This is because 1 therm is a unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British Thermal Units (BTU), and 1 BTU is approximately 1055.06 joules.
Formula
Therms = Joules ÷ (1.055 × 108)
or
thm = J ÷ 1.055e8
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in joules
- Divide that number by 105,500,000
- The result is the equivalent energy in therms
Examples
- 5e8 joules = 5e8 ÷ 1.055e8 = 4.74 therms
- 1e9 joules = 1e9 ÷ 1.055e8 = 9.48 therms
- 5e9 joules = 5e9 ÷ 1.055e8 = 47.39 therms
