Tonne [t]


The tonne, also known as the metric ton, is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to 1,000 kilograms or 1 megagram. It is widely used around the world for measuring large quantities of mass, such as in shipping, industry, and science.


The tonne is slightly larger than the US short ton (2,000 pounds) and the UK long ton (2,240 pounds).


Summary:



  • 1 tonne = 1,000 kilograms (about 2,204.62 pounds)



  • Standard unit for large-scale mass measurements globally



  • Used in science, industry, and commerce




Kiloton (Metric) [kt]


The kiloton (kt) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms (one million kilograms). It is commonly used to measure large quantities, such as the weight of ships, large cargo, or explosive energy equivalent in nuclear physics.


In the context of explosives, one kiloton often refers to the energy released by the explosion of 1,000 tons of TNT, a standard measure in describing the yield of nuclear bombs.


The kiloton provides a convenient scale for expressing very large masses or energy amounts in scientific, industrial, and military fields.
