Understanding your natural gas consumption is essential for managing energy costs. This calculator converts between CCF (hundred cubic feet), therms, and BTUs, making it easy to interpret your utility bills.
Formula
$$\text{Therms} = \frac{\text{CCF} \times 100}{96.7}$$
$$\text{BTUs} = \text{Therms} \times 100{,}000$$
Example Calculation
For 700 CCF of natural gas:
$$\text{Therms} = \frac{700 \times 100}{96.7} = 724.04$$
$$\text{BTUs} = 724.04 \times 100{,}000 = 72{,}404{,}000$$
So 700 CCF equals approximately 724 therms or 72.4 million BTUs.
Understanding Natural Gas Measurements
Natural gas utility companies typically measure consumption in CCF or MCF (thousand cubic feet). The conversion to therms provides a standardized energy measurement that accounts for variations in gas quality and pressure.
Key Conversions:
- 1 CCF = 100 cubic feet
- 1 therm = 100,000 BTUs
- 1 CCF = approximately 1.034 therms (using 96.7 conversion factor)
This calculator helps homeowners, property managers, and energy analysts quickly convert between these units for budgeting, efficiency analysis, and cost comparison.
