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.
Inch-Pound
The inch-pound (in·lbf) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the force of one pound applied at the end of a one-inch lever arm.
History/Origin
The inch-pound has been used primarily in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, originating from the traditional use of inches and pounds in mechanical and engineering contexts, with its formal recognition dating back to the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering, automotive, and mechanical applications to measure torque and energy, especially in contexts where imperial units are standard.
