What is a Metric Ton?
The metric ton (tonne) equals exactly 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.6 pounds. Although not a formal SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI and is the international standard for measuring cargo, agricultural yields, and industrial material quantities. The metric ton is heavier than the US short ton (907.185 kg) and lighter than the UK long ton (1,016.05 kg). World steel production is measured in millions of metric tons per year.
What is a Kilogram?
The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, redefined in 2019 by fixing the Planck constant to an exact numerical value of 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s — replacing the century-old physical platinum-iridium artifact. It is used worldwide for body weight, commercial goods, and scientific measurements. One kilogram equals exactly 2.20462 pounds. The kilogram is also the only SI base unit whose name includes a prefix.
