Gas Measurement Scales

meter index

Here are some frequently used units for measuring natural gas:

1 cubic foot (cf) = 1,027 Btu
100 cubic feet (1 ccf) = 1 therm (approximate)
1,000 cubic feet (1 Mcf) = 1,027,000 Btu (1 MMBtu)
1,000 cubic feet (1 Mcf) = 1 dekatherm (10 Therms)

100,000 Btu = 1 Therm
1 million (1,000,000) Btu = 1 Dekatherm

Beginning September 2026, Indiana Utilities Corporation will begin transitioning to Ulta Sonic meters. These meter change outs will begin September 1, 2026, and will take place during regular office hours Monday – Friday 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
