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.

Pennyweight (pwt)

The pennyweight, equal to 1/20 of a troy ounce or 1.55517384 grams, is a unit used primarily in the precious metals and jewelry industries. Its origins lie in medieval English coinage, when the weight of silver pennies provided a practical standard for small masses. Jewelers continue to use the pennyweight because many traditional pricing structures and metalworking conventions are built around troy-based subdivisions. For gold, silver, and dental alloys, the pennyweight remains easier to work with than grams due to long-established norms. Even though the metric system is now dominant scientifically, the pennyweight persists because industries tied to history—especially those involving money and precious goods—tend to maintain deeply rooted practices.
