Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a metric ton and a US ton?+
A metric ton (tonne) is exactly 1,000 kg. A US ton (short ton) is 2,000 pounds, which works out to about 907.18 kg — noticeably lighter than a metric ton. Make sure you pick the one that matches your context.
Is this the same as a mass converter?+
For everyday purposes, yes — this converts weight/mass units the way people commonly use them (kg, lb, oz, etc.), without getting into the physics distinction between mass and weight (force due to gravity).
Does the result update automatically?+
Yes — there's no button to click. Change the amount or either unit and the result updates instantly.
