What is a ton (explosives)?

A ton (explosives), also called a ton of TNT, approximates the energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as about 4.184 × 10^9 joules.

What does Btu (IT) measure?

Btu (IT) is a British thermal unit defined by the International Steam Tables used to quantify heat energy, equal to about 1,055.05585 joules.

Why convert from ton (explosives) to Btu (IT)?

Converting allows integration of explosive energy data with heat energy for thermodynamic, engineering analyses, and energy system comparisons.
