The Tonne (t) in Weight

What is Tonne (t)

A tonne, represented by the symbol "t", is a unit of weight that is commonly used around the world. It is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms (kg) or 1∗103 kg. The tonne is part of the metric system and is widely used in various fields, including transportation, construction, and environmental science.

While some may refer to the tonne as a metric ton, it is important to note that it is not the same as the imperial ton, which is slightly different in weight. The tonne is defined as exactly 1,000 kg, a value that is often used for measuring heavy weights in scientific contexts and everyday applications alike.

Common conversions values

Here are some common conversion values for the tonne (t):

• 1 (t) = 10 (q)
