Let’s take a look to see what unit this is

I’m working on a project that involves natural gas, measured in decatherms/h. How can this unit be converted to m3/h? Thank you
therm: kcal, kJ； Ten therm is decatherm. therm (thm) is a unit of thermal energy. 1 therm is equal to 100,000 Btu. Since there are several definitions of Btu, there are also several definitions of therm. In the United States, the 1968 law defines therm as a total of 105.4804 megajoules. The definition of the European Community: 1 Btu is equal to 105.5060 megajoules. In any case, therm is equivalent to 25,200 (large) calories, or approximately 29.3 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. A therm can also be provided by approximately 96.7 cubic feet of natural gas. Therm (EC) ≡ 100,000 BTU = 105,506,000 joules ≈ 29.3072222 kWh; Therm (US) ≡ 100,000 BTU = 105,480,400 joules ≈ 29.3001111 kWh. Therm (UK) = 105,505,585.257 348 joules ≈ 29.30710701583 kWh.
deca- means ten times
1 MMDTU = 1000000000 IN3 = 16387.264 M3
Ugh, I can’t upload pictures; I can only type. In the United States, natural gas is usually sold retail in units of Therm, while wholesale transactions are typically carried out in units of Decatherms, or thousand Decatherms – abbreviated as MDth – or even Million Decatherms, abbreviated as MM Dth. 1 MMDTH equals 1,000,000,000 cubic inches, which is equivalent to 16,387.264 cubic meters. One million Decatherms thus equals one billion cubic feet. You can do the calculations by yourself; use this as a reference
