What is a metric kiloton (kt)?

A metric kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.

How many grams are in one kiloton (metric)?

One metric kiloton equals 1,000,000,000 grams.

Can this conversion be used for explosive energy measurements?

No. This conversion relates to mass units, not energy units such as kilotons of TNT equivalent.
