A kilogram is the SI base unit of mass.
Kilograms are the standard metric mass unit for commerce, science, shipping, food, equipment, and everyday measurement.
A metric tonne is a mass unit equal to 1000 kilograms.
Metric tonnes are used internationally for bulk goods, freight, agriculture, mining, construction, and industrial materials.
Mathematically, metric ton (t) = kilogram (kg) multiplied by the conversion factor shown below.
1 kg = 0.001 t
1 t = 1,000 kg
1 kg x 0.001 = 0.001 t
The mass in metric ton (t) is the mass in kilogram (kg) multiplied by 0.001.
mass(t) = mass(kg) x 0.001
Or:
t = kg x 0.001
Formula: value × 0.001
Example: 15 kg = 0.015 t
Convert 5 kilogram to metric ton:
5 kg x 0.001 = 0.005 t
Convert 72 kilogram to metric ton:
72 kg x 0.001 = 0.072 t
Precision note: Use the exact relationship of 1000 kilograms per metric tonne. Preserve decimals when a kilogram value does not convert to a whole tonne.
1 kg = 0.001 t
1 t = 1,000 kg
