Inch-Ounce
The inch-ounce (in*ozf) is a unit of energy or work, representing the work done when a force of one ounce-force is applied over a distance of one inch.
History/Origin
The inch-ounce originated in the imperial and customary measurement systems, primarily used in the United States for small-scale energy calculations and engineering applications, before being largely replaced by the foot-pound in most contexts.
Current Use
Today, the inch-ounce is rarely used and has been largely superseded by more standard units like the foot-pound. It may still appear in niche engineering, calibration, or historical references within the energy converter category.
Therm (Us)
The therm (US) is a unit of energy used primarily to measure natural gas consumption, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm was introduced in the early 20th century as a practical unit for billing natural gas, standardizing energy measurement in the United States. It has been widely adopted in the energy industry for commercial and residential gas usage.
Current Use
Today, the therm (US) is still used in the natural gas industry for billing and energy calculations, although it has been largely supplemented by the gigajoule and other SI units in scientific contexts.
