Frequently asked questions
How many metric tons are in one gram?
1 g equals 0.000001 t.
How do I convert grams to metric tons?
Multiply the value by 0.000001. For example, 10 g equals 0.00001 t.
How do I convert back from metric tons to grams?
1 t equals 1,000,000 g. The converter above works in both directions, so you can type into either field.
Is this converting mass or weight?
Mass. Kilograms and pounds measure mass; force units such as newtons or kilonewtons are a separate quantity used in structural load calculations.
What is the difference between a US ton and a metric tonne?
A US short ton is 2,000 lb, about 907 kg, while a metric tonne is exactly 1,000 kg. The imperial long ton is 2,240 lb, about 1,016 kg.
Is this mass converter free to use?
Yes. Every unit conversion runs in your browser, needs no account and is free for professional use.
