Why is the ton (explosives) energy value considered approximate?

Because the energy released depends on the specific explosive type and environmental conditions, making exact equivalences difficult.

Can this converter be used for precise scientific measurements?

It provides estimations useful for cross-scale comparisons but is not designed for high precision due to the approximate nature of the ton (explosives) unit.

Is millijoule a practical unit for measuring large explosive energies?

Millijoule typically measures very small energies, so using it for large explosive amounts is mainly for computational or analytical comparisons.
