Converting from Kilogram of TNT (kgTNT) to Quad (quad)

What is Kilogram of TNT (kgTNT)

Kilogram of TNT (kgTNT) is a unit of energy that represents the amount of energy released by one kilogram of TNT when it explodes. TNT, or trinitrotoluene, is commonly used as a reference point in measuring explosive energy. It provides a clear and relatable scale for understanding large quantities of energy, especially in applications related to physics, chemistry, and engineering.

What is Quad (quad)

A quad (quad) is a larger unit of energy measurement equal to 1 quadrillion British thermal units (BTUs). In scientific terms, 1 quad measures approximately 1.055 x 10^15 joules. It is generally used to quantify energy in the context of large-scale energy production and consumption, such as in the energy industry, where natural gas, oil, and renewable energy sources are compared.
