About Calorie and Therm
The calorie (small calorie) is exactly 4.184 joules under the thermochemical convention. It originally described the heat to warm one gram of water by 1 °C. Chemistry uses it; food 'Calories' are actually kilocalories. The therm is 100,000 BTU, about 105.5 megajoules. US natural gas utilities bill household consumption in therms. One Calorie equals 3.965667e-8 Therms (1 cal = 3.965667e-8 therm). Calorie is used in chemistry heat calculations and in scientific literature. Therm is used in US natural gas billing.
Precision and Rounding:Energy factors mix exact definitions (1 kWh = 3,600,000 J; 1 cal = 4.184 J thermochemical) with measured conventions (1 BTU ≈ 1,055.056 J). Nutrition and utility bills round to whole units; engineering heat calculations should keep the full factor until the final step.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
