Metric / SI

Metric Ton

What is a metric ton?

The metric ton (t) equals exactly 1,000 kilograms; it is also called the tonne.

Origin of the metric ton

From 'tun', a large medieval cask; 'metric' distinguishes it from imperial tons.

Where it is used

The global standard for trade, freight, and heavy industry.

When and where it was developed

Recognized internationally with the spread of the metric system in the late 19th century.

Point (1/100 carat) to Metric Ton conversion formula

The relationship between points (1/100 carat) and metric tons:

1 pt = 2e-9 t
1 t = 5e+8 pt

To convert points (1/100 carat) to metric tons, multiply the value in points (1/100 carat) by 2e-9. To reverse, multiply metric tons by 5e+8.

Step-by-step: convert points (1/100 carat) to metric tons

  1. Write down the value in points (1/100 carat) (pt).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2e-9.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in metric tons (t).
  4. To reverse, multiply the metric ton value by 5e+8.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 pt to t:
1 × 2e-9 = 2e-9 t

Example 2 — Convert 100 pt to t:
100 × 2e-9 = 2e-7 t

Real-world example — Fiber-optic link lengths

Converting from microscale points (1/100 carat) to the metric tons of a long-haul fiber link is the conversion an optical engineer performs when calculating attenuation per kilometre of fiber.

1e+9 pt × 2e-9 = 2 t

Real-world example — Feature-scale to long-haul

One billion points (1/100 carat) equals exactly one metric ton — the conversion an optical-network engineer performs when totalling feature-level path lengths into a single long-haul fiber-link distance.

1e+9 pt × 2e-9 = 2 t
