What does one kiloton (metric) represent?

One kiloton (metric) equals 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms and is a large mass unit used in industrial and scientific contexts.

Is the quarter (UK) still used today?

No, the quarter (UK) is a traditional British mass unit mainly used historically in commerce and agriculture.

Can I use this conversion for explosives?

No, kiloton in explosive contexts usually refers to energy equivalence, not mass, so this conversion should be used only for mass.

Select kiloton (metric) as the from unit and quarter (UK) as the to unit.
Click the convert button to get the result in quarters (UK).

Key Features

Converts mass from kiloton (metric) to quarter (UK) efficiently.
Browser-based and user-friendly interface.
Supports conversions between modern metric and historical British units.
Suitable for industrial, archival, and historical research purposes.

Examples

2 kiloton (metric) equals approximately 157473.0444 quarter (UK).
0.5 kiloton (metric) equals approximately 39368.2611 quarter (UK).

Common Use Cases

Converting large shipment weights for industrial reporting.
Interpreting historical agricultural or trade documents with British units.
Comparing naval architecture displacement measurements using different unit systems.
Archival and legal research involving historical mass or weight data.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure clarity that the kiloton refers to mass, not energy equivalence used in explosive contexts.
Use conversions mainly for reference and archival purposes due to the historical nature of the quarter (UK).
Verify units carefully when working between metric and imperial-based historical systems.
Consider rounding effects when dealing with conversions involving avoirdupois pounds.

Limitations

The quarter (UK) is a historical unit rarely used in modern mass measurements.
Conversion precision may be influenced by rounding and unit base differences.
Kiloton can refer to energy in explosive contexts, which is different from its use as a mass unit.
Conversions are primarily for archival, historical, or analytical references rather than everyday mass measurement.

Key Terminology

Kiloton (metric) [kt]: A mass unit equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms, primarily used to quantify very large weights.
Quarter (UK) [qr (UK)]: A traditional British mass unit equal to one quarter of the long hundredweight, or 28 avoirdupois pounds.
Avoirdupois pound: A unit of weight used in the British imperial system and the United States customary system, upon which the quarter (UK) is based.
