What does one ton (explosives) represent?

It represents the energy released by detonating approximately one metric ton of TNT, standardized to about 4.184 gigajoules.

What is the Btu (th) unit used for?

Btu (th) is a thermochemical British thermal unit used to rate heating and cooling equipment and express energy content of fuels.

Why is ton (explosives) considered an approximate unit?

Because the TNT equivalence depends on explosive type and conditions, making the energy value variable.
