Metric tons (t) to Short tons (ST) Conversion
Metric tons
The metric ton (or tonne) is a unit of mass equal to exactly 1,000 kilograms, widely used in industry, agriculture, international trade, and environmental science. It is approximately equal to the mass of one cubic metre of water under standard conditions. It should be distinguished from the short ton (2,000 lb ≈ 907 kg) used in the United States and the long ton (2,240 lb ≈ 1,016 kg) used in the United Kingdom.

It is the standard ton in US commercial and industrial contexts, and appears frequently in shipping, construction, and manufacturing specifications. The short ton is approximately 10.7% lighter than the metric ton (1,000 kg) and 12.5% lighter than the British long ton (2,240 lb).
