About Kilogram and US Ton

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by the old platinum-iridium prototype. It is the reference for every other mass unit on this site. The US (short) ton is 2,000 pounds, exactly 907.18474 kilograms. American freight, mining, and vehicle ratings use it, and it is about 10% lighter than the metric tonne. One Kilogram equals 0.001102311311 US Tons (1 kg = 0.001102311311 ton). Kilogram is used in body weight outside the US and in groceries and food packaging worldwide. US Ton is used in US truck and freight capacity.

Precision and Rounding:Metric-imperial mass factors are exact (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg by the 1959 agreement), so precision is purely a display choice. One decimal place is enough for body weight and cooking; nutrition labeling, pharmacy, and lab work need the full factor before rounding.

Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
