Therm (Ec)
The therm (EC) is a unit of energy used primarily in the measurement of natural gas and heating energy, equivalent to 100,000 British thermal units (BTUs).
History/Origin
The therm originated in the early 19th century as a practical unit for measuring large quantities of heat energy, especially in the gas industry, and has been standardized in various regions for energy billing and calculations.
Current Use
Today, the therm (EC) is used mainly in the natural gas industry and energy sectors to quantify heat energy consumption, although it has largely been supplemented or replaced by SI units like joules and kilowatt-hours in many regions.
Foot-Pound
A foot-pound is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one pound-force is exerted over a distance of one foot.
History/Origin
The foot-pound has been used primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom as a customary unit of energy, originating from imperial and US customary measurement systems, before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the foot-pound is still used in certain fields such as engineering, automotive, and aerospace industries in the US for expressing torque and energy, although the SI unit joule is more common internationally.
