What is a ton (explosives) unit?

It is a non-SI energy unit approximating the energy released by detonating one metric ton of TNT, standardized as about 4.184 × 10^9 joules.

Why convert ton (explosives) to microjoules?

Converting allows expression of vast explosive energies in very small units, facilitating analysis across different scientific and engineering scales.

Does the conversion give exact results?

Results are approximate due to variability in explosive equivalence and the broad difference in energy unit scales.
