What is a kilogram-force meter?

It is a historical metric unit of energy representing the work done by one kilogram-force acting over a one-meter distance, equal to 9.80665 joules.

What does ton (explosives) represent?

Ton (explosives), or ton of TNT, is a unit of energy approximating the energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as about 4.184 billion joules.

Why convert kilogram-force meter to ton (explosives)?

To relate small-scale or historical mechanical energy measurements to large-scale explosive energy releases for analysis in military, industrial, or geological fields.
