- Volumes are standard m³ at 15 °C and 1.01325 bar; Nm³ (0 °C) holds 5.5% more gas. US ft³ are usually measured at 60 °F, practically the same as 15 °C.
- Natural gas composition varies: Russian/Norwegian H-gas is about 39–41 MJ/m³ gross, Dutch L-gas about 35, LNG cargoes 39–43. For exact results, use the value on your bill.
- 1 therm = 100,000 BTU = 29.3071 kWh · 1 MMBtu = 10 therms = 1.055 GJ · 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ = 3,412 BTU.
