About these units

Metric Ton (t)

The metric ton, or tonne, equals 1,000 kilograms and is used for measuring large masses such as vehicles, industrial shipments, agricultural yields, waste disposal, and construction materials. Its convenient decimal relationship with kilograms makes it easy to use in logistics, industry, and environmental studies. Many countries express carbon emissions in tonnes of CO₂, linking the unit directly to global sustainability efforts. The metric ton contrasts with the US short ton and UK long ton—its exact definition prevents ambiguity in international trade. Its adoption worldwide demonstrates the advantages of standardized mass units in a global economy.

Hundredweight (US) (cwt (US))

The US hundredweight equals 100 pounds (45.359237 kg) and is used in agriculture, livestock markets, and commodity trading. Farmers often price hay, grain, and cattle by the hundredweight. The oil and chemical industries also use it for bulk goods. Its relation to the ton (20 cwt = 1 US ton) integrates it smoothly into the US customary system. Although it complicates international trade due to conflicting definitions with the UK version, the US hundredweight remains essential in domestic commerce.
