How to Convert Ounce to Metric Ton
- 1 oz = 0.00002834952313 t
- 1 t = 35273.96195 oz
- Example: convert 15 oz to t: 15 oz = 15 × 0.00002834952313 t = 0.0004252428469 t
Reference conditions. oz: Avoirdupois system: 1 lb = 16 oz = 7000 grains = 0.45359237 kg exactly (1959 agreement).
Formula
t = oz × 0.000028349523125
or t = oz ÷ 35273.96194958
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 oz = 1/16 lb = 28.349523125 g (exact)
- 1 t = 1000 kg (accepted for use with the SI)
- 1 oz = 0.028349523125 kg ÷ 1000 kg per t = 0.000028349523125 t
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Ounce definition: ounce; Metric Ton definition: metric ton.
Worked examples
- A reading of 4 oz converts to 0.0001133980925 t.
4 oz × 0.00002834952313 = 0.0001133980925 t - A value of 12 oz is 0.0003401942775 t.
12 oz × 0.00002834952313 = 0.0003401942775 t
