About Therm and Kilojoule
The therm is 100,000 BTU, about 105.5 megajoules. US natural gas utilities bill household consumption in therms. The kilojoule is 1,000 joules. Food energy in Australia, Europe, and most metric countries is labeled in kilojoules alongside or instead of calories. One Therm equals 105505.5853 Kilojoule (1 therm = 105505.5853 kJ). Therm to Kilojoule conversion comes up most often in US natural gas billing and in home heating cost estimates, typically when figures need restating for food labels outside the US.
Precision and Rounding: Energy factors mix exact definitions (1 kWh = 3,600,000 J; 1 cal = 4.184 J thermochemical) with measured conventions (1 BTU ≈ 1,055.056 J). Nutrition and utility bills round to whole units; engineering heat calculations should keep the full factor until the final step.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
