Metric Tons (Tonnes)

One tonne is equal to 1,000 kilograms or 2,204.6 pounds, and is used throughout the world
as a unit of mass/weight.[1] One tonne is also equal to 1 megagram. The metric ton should
not be confused with short tons, used primarily in the US, or long tons, used primarily in
the UK.
The metric ton is an SI accepted unit for weight for use with the metric system. A metric ton
is sometimes also referred to as a tonne. Metric tons can be abbreviated as t, and are also
sometimes abbreviated as T, Te, or MT. For example, 1 metric ton can be written as 1 t, 1 T,
1 Te, or 1 MT.
In the US the unit is referred to as the metric ton, while the rest of the world refers to it as
the tonne. Most often it's still pronounced as tun, but it is sometimes pronounced tunny.

Tons
One short ton, sometimes called a US ton, is equal to 2,000 pounds and is mostly used in

countries.
The ton is a US customary unit of weight. A ton is sometimes also referred to as a short ton.
Tons can be abbreviated as t; for example, 1 ton can be written as 1 t.
