Metric ton (t) — a metric unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms
It is defined as exactly 1000 kilograms; the metric ton is also called the tonne. Used worldwide for measuring large masses in shipping, industry, agriculture, construction, freight, commodities, and vehicle weights.
- Symbol: t
- System: Non-SI unit accepted for use with SI; equal to 1000 kilograms
- Exact relations: 1 t = 1000 kg = 1,000,000 g = 1,000,000,000 mg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 t ≈ 2204.62 lb ≈ 1.10231 US short tons ≈ 0.984207 UK long tons
- Typical examples: a small car ~1.5 t; a shipping container load can be tens of t; bulk grain or cement often measured in t.
Grain (gr) — a small imperial and US customary unit of mass
It is defined as exactly 1/7000 of an avoirdupois pound; since 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly, 1 gr = 64.79891 mg exactly. Used mainly for measuring bullets, gunpowder, arrows, and some pharmaceutical or historical masses.
- Symbol: gr
- System: Imperial and US customary unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 gr = 1/7000 lb = 1/437.5 oz = 64.79891 mg
- Metric equivalents: 1 gr = 0.06479891 g ≈ 0.0000647989 kg
- Typical examples: a small bullet ~40 gr; a larger rifle bullet ~150 gr; an aspirin tablet was historically 5 gr.
