What this weight conversion is for

Use this page when a measurement is written in pounds and the next step needs metric tons. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.

The factor

Multiply by the factor: 1 pound = 0.00045359 metric tons.

A worked example

10 pounds are 0.00453592 metric tons. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.

How to check it

Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.

The reverse conversion is metric tons to pounds. A nearby pair in the same units is pounds to stone. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the tons from cubic yards.
