US Centric?[edit]
Is there any evidence for usage of "Dekatherm" outside the US at all? It's far from universal even inside the US. Rwessel (talk) 22:40, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Conversion to Mcf[edit]
The (unsourced) sentence on conversion to one thousand cubic feet (Mcf) says "It is also approximately equal to one thousand cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas or exactly one Mcf of natural gas with a heating value of 1000 Btu/cf." I find the sentence somewhat ambiguous, I'm changing it to "It is also approximately equal to 1000 cubic feet (cf), or one Mcf, of natural gas measured at standard conditions, since one cubic foot of natural gas has a heating value of approximately 1000 Btu."
If I'm mistaken about the original intent of the statement, let me know. --Kenahoo (talk) 16:11, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
Update to make article more global[edit]
Article marked as non-global since 2016. Updated article to try to make it less US centric. Even if the unit is mainly used in US, the article can still be written with a global perspective. Changes:
- Removing statement that the unit was "developed" by a company. Putting a prefix on a existing unit seems trivial. Keeping sentence that the company started to use the unit.
- Adding conversion for non metric units.
- Writing out or removing prefixes not recommended to use by MOS:UNITSYMBOLS.
