The tonne ( British and SI ; SI symbol: t ) or metric ton ( American ) is a non-SI metric unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms ; [1] [2] [3] [4] it is thus equivalent to one megagram ( Mg ). 1,000 kilograms is equivalent to approximately 2,204.6 pounds , [5] 1.10 tons (US) or 0.984 tons (imperial). Although not part of the SI per se , the tonne is " accepted for use with" SI units and prefixes by the CIPM , along with several other units like the bar , litre and day . |

The tonne , known as the metric ton in the US [1] ( SI unit symbol: t , U.S. abbreviation: "mt" [2] ), often put pleonastically as "metric tonne" to avoid confusion with ton , is a metric system unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms . The tonne is not an International System of Units (SI) unit, but is accepted for use with the SI. [3] [4] In SI units and prefixes , the tonne is a megagram ( Mg ). |

The tonne (unit symbol t ) or metric ton ( U.S. ), [1] often redundantly referred to as a metric tonne , is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kg (2,205 lb) or approximately the mass of one cubic metre of water at four degrees Celsius . It is sometimes abbreviated as mt in the United States, [2] but this conflicts with other SI symbols. The tonne is not a unit in the International System of Units (SI), but is accepted for use with the SI. [3] [4] In SI units and prefixes , the tonne is a megagram ( Mg ). The spelling tonne pre-dates the introduction of the SI in 1960; it has been used with this meaning in France since 1842 [5] (when there were no metric prefixes for multiples of 10 6 and above), and is now used as the standard spelling for the metric mass measurement in most English -speaking countries. [6] [7] [8] [9] In the United States, the unit was originally referred to using the French words millier or tonneau , [10] but these terms are now obsolete. [1] The Imperial and US customary units comparable to the tonne are both spelled ton in English, though they differ in mass. Pronunciation of tonne (the word used in the UK) and ton is usually identical, but is not too confusing unless accuracy is important as the tonne and UK long ton differ by only 1.6%. |

A tonne ( t ) or metric ton , also referred to as a metric tonne or tonne métrique , is a measurement of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms , or 2204.6226 pounds. It is not an SI unit but is accepted for use with the SI. [1] The proper SI unit for a tonne would be a "megagram" (Mg, see SI prefix ), but this term is rarely used in practice. Though the spelling tonne predates the introduction of the SI system in 1960 (it has been used in France for about two and a half centuries, where it comes from), it is now used as the standard spelling for the metric mass measurement in some English-speaking countries. In the United States the correct term is metric ton . [2] The comparable imperial and US customary units are spelled ton in English. |
