What are Ton and Kilogram-force

Definition of Ton

A 'ton' is a unit of measurement that signifies a large quantity of material or capacity. Within the context of explosives, a 'ton' usually refers to a 'ton of TNT', which is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules. It is commonly used to describe the energy potential of explosions, comparing their magnitude to the equivalent weight of TNT.

Definition of Kilogram-force

Kilogram-force, abbreviated as kgf, measures force. It’s defined as the gravitational force exerted by one kilogram of mass under standard gravity. Specifically, one kilogram-force is equal to the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram under a gravity acceleration of 9.80665 meters per second squared. It is a convenient unit for quantifying force in engineering and physics.
