gas unit conversion factor

A gas unit conversion factor translates the amount of gas measured in one unit into another, such as converting cubic meters (m³) to cubic feet (ft³), or from energy units like joules or therms into volume units. It accounts for variations in pressure, temperature, and gas composition, allowing accurate comparison or billing regardless of how the gas is measured or reported. Essentially, it’s a standardized multiplier that ensures consistent and comparable measurements across different units and contexts, facilitating proper understanding, trading, and usage of natural gas.
