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.
Microgram (µg) — a very small SI unit of mass
It is defined as one millionth of a gram, or one billionth of a kilogram, the SI base unit for mass. Used worldwide for measuring extremely small masses in medicine, nutrition, chemistry, toxicology, laboratory analysis, and trace substances.
- Symbol: µg
- System: SI unit for mass; decimal submultiple of the kilogram
- Exact relations: 1 µg = 0.001 mg = 0.000001 g = 0.000000001 kg
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 µg ≈ 0.000000035274 oz ≈ 0.00000000220462 lb
- Typical examples: a vitamin B12 dose ~500 µg; a folic acid tablet ~400 µg; trace contaminants in food or water often measured in µg.
