What does one ton (explosives) represent?

It represents the energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as approximately 4.184 billion joules.

Why convert ton (explosives) to kilocalorie (th)?

This conversion helps compare large-scale explosive energy to thermal or dietary energy quantities commonly expressed in kilocalories.

Is the conversion exact?

No, the ton (explosives) unit is approximate because TNT equivalence varies with type and conditions; thus the conversion to kilocalorie (th) is an estimate.
