Converting Energy Measurement: Joule (J) to Ton of TNT (tnTNT)

What is Joule (J)

Joule (J) is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is used to quantify energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of its motion through a distance of one meter.

What is Ton of TNT (tnTNT)

Ton of TNT (tnTNT) is a unit of energy often used to measure the energy released in explosions. It is equivalent to the energy released by detonating one ton of TNT (trinitrotoluene) explosives.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Joule (J) and Ton of TNT (tnTNT) can be calculated using the following formulas:

• To convert Joule (J) to Ton of TNT (tnTNT):

tnTNT=J×0.0000000002390057

• To convert Ton of TNT (tnTNT) to Joule (J):

J=tnTNT×4184000000

Examples

• 14 Joules (J) is equal to 0.00000000334608 Tons of TNT (tnTNT).
• 12 Joules (J) is equivalent to 0.000000002868069 Tons of TNT (tnTNT).
• 16 Joules (J) correspond to 0.000000003824092 Tons of TNT (tnTNT).

You can use these conversion factors to perform calculations between Joule (J) and Ton of TNT (tnTNT) in order to understand the energy equivalence between the two units.
