What does one kiloton (metric) represent in mass?

One metric kiloton equals 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.

Why does the shekel unit have variable mass values?

The shekel's mass differed by era and region, so an average of about 11.3 grams is used here.

Is kiloton always a unit of mass in this conversion?

No, kiloton sometimes refers to explosive energy; this tool converts kiloton as a mass unit.
