Discover the ease of converting pdl·ft to Mt with our Poundal Foot to Megaton Converter, and unlock the potential of precise measurement conversions in just a few clicks.
A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the imperial system. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Precisely, 1 poundal equals 0.138254954376 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI). It is not commonly used today, having been largely replaced by the Newton, the SI unit of force.
Definition of MegatonA megaton is a unit of energy commonly used to describe the explosive power of nuclear weapons. It is equivalent to the energy released by one million tons of TNT (trinitrotoluene). In terms of the joule, the SI unit of energy, one megaton is approximately 4.184 petajoules. While it is not an official SI unit, the megaton is widely used in military and energy sectors to convey the significant scale of energy release.

1 pdl·ft = 4.4482216152605e-18 Mt
1 Mt = 2.247e+17 pdl·ft
Example 1:
convert 10,000 pdl·ft to Mt:
10,000 pdl·ft = 10,000 × 4.4482216152605e-18 Mt = 4.4482216152605e-14 Mt
Example 2:
convert 100,000 pdl·ft to Mt:
100,000 pdl·ft = 100,000 × 4.4482216152605e-18 Mt = 4.4482216152605e-16 Mt
The Poundal Foot to Megaton Converter has a niche history, rooted in the need to convert between the imperial unit of force and the unit representing nuclear energy.
