Formula: thm = kJ × 0.0000094782

Reverse: kJ = thm × 105,505.585262

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Kilojoule. For example: 5 kJ
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 9.478171e-6
The result is: 4.739086e-5 thm

About Kilojoule

The kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy and work. One kilojoule equals 1000 joules. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other energy unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: energy calculations, engineering and science, education.

About Therm

The therm (thm) is a unit of energy and work. One therm equals 1.055056 × 10^+8 joules. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other energy unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: energy calculations, engineering and science, education.
