Example Natural Gas Conversions
Residential Gas Bill
Usage: 85 CCF (hundred cubic feet)
Conversion to ft³: 85 × 100 = 8,500 ft³
Energy equivalent: 8,500 × 1,039 = 8,831,500 BTU ≈ 88.3 therms
Industrial Usage
Consumption: 1,000 cubic meters
Conversion to ft³: 1,000 × 35.31 = 35,310 ft³
Energy content: 35,310 × 1,039 = 36,697,290 BTU ≈ 367 therms
Energy Planning
Required energy: 50 MBTU
Natural gas needed: 50,000,000 ÷ 1,039 = 48,122 ft³
In cubic meters: 48,122 ÷ 35.31 = 1,363 m³

Understanding Natural Gas Measurements
Volume vs Energy Measurements
Natural gas can be measured in two main ways: by volume (how much space it occupies) or by energy content (how much heat it can produce). Volume units include cubic feet and cubic meters, while energy units include BTU, therms, and joules.
Common Applications
- •Residential: Heating, cooking, water heating
- •Industrial: Manufacturing processes, steam generation
- •Power Generation: Electricity production
- •Transportation: CNG vehicles
Conversion Principles
Volume Conversions:
1 m³ = 35.3107 ft³
1 CCF = 100 ft³
1 MCF = 1,000 ft³
Energy Conversions:
1 ft³ ≈ 1,039 BTU
1 therm = 100,000 BTU
1 MBTU = 1,000,000 BTU
Note: Heating values can vary slightly based on gas composition and pressure
