CCF to Therms Calculator
Convert between CCF (hundred cubic feet) and therms for natural gas usage
Convert Natural Gas Units
Volume of natural gas (100 cubic feet)
Energy content measurement
Using standard factor: 1.038 (1 CCF = 1.038 therms)
Conversion Results
Formula: Therms = CCF × 1.038
Energy equivalence: 1 therm = 100,000 BTU

Understanding CCF and Therms
What are CCF and Therms?
CCF (hundred cubic feet) measures the volume of natural gas consumed, while therms measure the energy content. Since natural gas composition varies, therms provide a more accurate measurement of actual energy delivered.
Why Convert Between Units?
- •Gas companies use different billing units
- •Energy content varies by gas quality
- •Therms provide standardized energy measurement
- •Helps compare energy costs across suppliers
Conversion Formula
Therms = CCF × 1.038
CCF = Therms ÷ 1.038
- 1.038: Standard conversion factor
- Range: Actual factors vary 0.95-1.15
- Heat Content: ~100,000 BTU per CCF
- Exactness: 1 therm = 100,000 BTU exactly
Note: Check your gas bill for the exact conversion factor used by your utility company, as it may vary from the standard 1.038.
