Discover the ease of converting poundals to metric tons with our intuitive Poundal to Ton-metric Converter, designed by Newtum to simplify your calculations.
A poundal is a unit of force used within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. Precisely, 1 poundal equals 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI). The poundal is an important unit for those working within systems where the FPS unit of force is required.
Definition of Ton-metricThe metric ton, or tonne, is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms. It is widely used around the world for measuring large quantities of material, such as in the shipping industry and for industrial quantities of raw materials. The tonne is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is equivalent to approximately 2,204.62 pounds or 1.10231 short tons in the United States customary units.
| Poundal (pdl) | Ton-metric (t) |
|---|---|
| 10 pdl | 0.00000007093 t |
| 20 pdl | 0.00000014186 t |
| 50 pdl | 0.00000035466 t |
| 100 pdl | 0.00000070932 t |
| 200 pdl | 0.00000141864 t |
| 500 pdl | 0.0000035466 t |
| 1000 pdl | 0.0000070932 t |
| 2000 pdl | 0.0000141864 t |
| 5000 pdl | 0.000035466 t |
| 10000 pdl | 0.000070932 t |
1 pdl = 0.00000007093 t
1 t = 14,098,088.4 pdl
Example 1:
Convert 100 pdl to t:
100 pdl = 100 × 0.00000007093 t = 0.0000070932 t
Example 2:
Convert 5,000 pdl to t:
5,000 pdl = 5,000 × 0.00000007093 t = 0.00035466 t
The Poundal to Ton-metric Converter is rooted in the historical development of force and mass units. Initially, the poundal was used in the FPS system, while the metric ton became standard in the metric system. The converter is an essential tool for engineers and scientists who bridge the gap between these units in various calculations and applications.
Harness the practicality of our Poundal to Ton-metric Converter, a vital tool for precise force and mass conversions in real-world scenarios.
Example 1: To convert 300 poundals to metric tons, you would enter '300' into the converter, resulting in 0.0000212796 metric tons.
Example 2: Converting 1,500 poundals equals 0.000106398 metric tons when using the conversion tool.
