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)

What is a point (1/100 carat)?

A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.

Origin of the point (1/100 carat)

A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.

Where it is used

The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.

When and where it was developed

Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.

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

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

1 t = 5e+8 pt

1 pt = 2e-9 t

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

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in points (1/100 carat) updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Point (1/100 carat) to Metric Ton converter for the reverse direction.

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

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

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 t to pt:
1 × 5e+8 = 5e+8 pt

Example 2 — Convert 100 t to pt:
100 × 5e+8 = 5e+10 pt

Real-world example — Long-haul to feature-scale

One metric ton equals one billion points (1/100 carat) — useful in fiber-optic engineering, where total cable length is given in the larger unit but feature-level attenuation depends on micro-scale variations.

1 t × 5e+8 = 5e+8 pt

Real-world example — Geographic to fiber-optic scale

One metric ton equals one billion points (1/100 carat). This conversion appears in fiber-optic specifications, where total link length is given in metric tons but signal attenuation depends on micro-scale variations along the fiber.

1 t × 5e+8 = 5e+8 pt
