Units explained
Ratti
The ratti equals about 0.1215 gram, the smallest traditional South Asian weight.
Based on the seed of the Gunja plant (Abrus precatorius), or 'raktika' in Sanskrit.
Gemstones and gold in Indian and South Asian jewelry.
One of the oldest weight units of the Indian subcontinent, later standardized.
Metric Ton
The metric ton (t) equals exactly 1,000 kilograms; it is also called the tonne.
From 'tun', a large medieval cask; 'metric' distinguishes it from imperial tons.
The global standard for trade, freight, and heavy industry.
Recognized internationally with the spread of the metric system in the late 19th century.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 ratti to t:
1 × 1.215e-7 = 1.215e-7 t
Example 2 — Convert 100 ratti to t:
100 × 1.215e-7 = 1.215e-5 t
Real-world example — Fiber-optic link lengths
Converting from microscale rattis 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 ratti × 1.215e-7 = 121.5 t
Real-world example — Feature-scale to long-haul
One billion rattis 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 ratti × 1.215e-7 = 121.5 t
