Conversion formula
Linear unit conversions use standardized factors; many are exact by definition (e.g., 1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 ft = 0.3048 m).
Common mistakes
- Confusing mass (lb) with force (lbf) in engineering contexts.
- Mixing metric tonnes (t) with short/long tons.
Unit facts
- Tonne (t): A metric tonne is exactly 1,000 kg; standard for freight and industrial production.
- Gram (g): A gram is 1/1000 of a kilogram; ubiquitous in cooking and chemistry.
About Mass
Mass quantifies the amount of matter. The kilogram is defined by Planck’s constant, which anchors mass to fundamental physics. In practice, grams and pounds dominate everyday use—from recipes and parcels to body weight—while tonnes and long tons appear in logistics and industry.
About Tonne (t)
Tonne (t)
Metric ton equals 1,000 kg. Used in logistics, emissions reporting (CO₂e), and industrial output. Works well with SI prefixes (kt, Mt).
History: Adopted with the metric system to simplify bulk trade; not to be confused with short ton (US) or long ton (UK).
About Gram (g)
Gram (g)
Equals 1/1000 kg. Standard for recipes, nutrition labels, and lab reagents. Converts cleanly across the metric ladder without rounding traps.
History: Introduced with the original metric system after the French Revolution. Its use expanded with mass manufacturing and standardized packaging.
