Inch-pounds (in⋅lb)
Definition
An inch-pound (in⋅lb) is an imperial unit of energy and torque equal to one-twelfth of a foot-pound, or approximately 0.112985 joules.
History
The inch-pound evolved as a finer subdivision of the foot-pound for applications requiring greater precision in mechanical and manufacturing contexts in Anglo-Saxon engineering traditions.
Current use
Inch-pounds are used in precision engineering, aerospace fastener specifications, small engine torque settings, and electronic assembly where fine torque control is essential.
Therms (US)
Definition
A therm is an imperial unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 BTU or approximately 105,506,000 joules. It is used primarily for natural gas billing.
History
The therm was defined by the UK Gas Act of 1920 for standardizing natural gas billing. It provided a convenient large-scale unit for measuring gas consumption across households and businesses.
Current use
Therms are used by natural gas utilities in the United States and the United Kingdom for billing residential and commercial customers. Gas bills typically show consumption in therms.
