How to convert calories to therms

1 cal = 3.96566683139 × 10⁻⁸ thm, so multiply by 3.96566683139 to go from calories (thermochemical) to therms (100,000 Btu). Going the other way, 1 thm = 25,216,440.0722 cal.

thm = cal × 3.96566683139
cal = thm × 25,216,440.0722

Worked example:

1 cal = 3.96566683139e-8 thm
5 × 3.96566683139e-8 = 1.9828334157e-7 thm

About the units

Calories (cal)
Calories (thermochemical), a specialised unit. The thermochemical calorie, 4.184 J, used on US food labels as 1 Calorie = 1 kilocalorie. Definition: NIST SP 811 Appendix B.8, factors for units listed alphabetically.
Therms (thm)
Therms (100,000 Btu), a US customary unit. The EC/IT therm; the US therm is 105,480,400 J, 0.02% smaller. Definition: NIST SP 811 Appendix B.8, factors for units listed alphabetically.
