About these measurements
Mass quantifies an amount of matter.
The base reference used here is the gram. One metric tonne is 1,000,000 base units; one US short ton is 907,184.74 base units.
Important distinctions
Mass is not force. Avoirdupois ounces and troy ounces have different masses.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
