Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
t = kt × 1000
Multiply any value in kilotons (metric) by 1000 to obtain the value in metric tonnes.
Worked example
Convert 1 kt to t.
- 01Start with 1 kt.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 t.
Result1 kt = 1000 t

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kt to t?
1 kt equals 1000 t. To convert, multiply the value in kilotons (metric) by 1000.
How do I convert 1 kt to t?
1 kt = 1000 t. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert t back to kt?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 t = 0.001 kt.
When would I need to convert kiloton (metric) to metric tonne?
Mass conversions appear in material balances, reagent dosing, and reconciling vendor specifications across imperial/metric systems.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
