Discover the ease of converting tons-metric (t) to poundals (pdl) with our precise Ton-metric to Poundal Converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool simplifies complex calculations, sparking your curiosity to explore more.
A ton-metric, also known as a metric ton, is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds. It is widely used in most countries for measuring heavy objects, such as vehicles and large cargo. The ton-metric is a non-SI unit but accepted for use with the International System of Units.
Definition of PoundalThe poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units, used in some systems of measurement including English Engineering units and the British Gravitational System. One poundal is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. It is not commonly used today, having been largely replaced by the newton in the International System of Units (SI).
| Ton-metric (t) | Poundal (pdl) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 t | 7220 pdl |
| 0.05 t | 36100 pdl |
| 0.1 t | 72200 pdl |
| 0.5 t | 361000 pdl |
| 1 t | 722000 pdl |
| 5 t | 3610000 pdl |
| 10 t | 7220000 pdl |
| 50 t | 36100000 pdl |
| 100 t | 72200000 pdl |
| 500 t | 361000000 pdl |
1 t = 722000 pdl
1 pdl = 1/722000 t
Example 1:
convert 2 t to pdl:
2 t = 2 × 722000 pdl = 1444000 pdl
Example 2:
convert 0.5 t to pdl:
0.5 t = 0.5 × 722000 pdl = 361000 pdl
The history of unit conversion between tons-metric and poundals dates back to the industrial era when accurate measurements were crucial for engineering and trade. Despite the adoption of the metric system, certain industries and scientific communities still utilize these conversions for legacy data and specific applications.

Example 1:
Convert 3 tons-metric to poundals:
3 t = 3 × 722000 pdl = 2166000 pdl
Example 2:
Convert 0.2 tons-metric to poundals:
0.2 t = 0.2 × 722000 pdl = 144400 pdl
