Kiloton (Metric)

A kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.

History/Origin

The term 'kiloton' originated in the 20th century, primarily used in military and scientific contexts to measure large quantities of explosive energy or mass, especially in nuclear weapon yields and large-scale industrial measurements.

Current Use

Today, kilotons are commonly used to express the explosive yield of nuclear weapons, the mass of large objects, and in scientific research related to energy and mass measurements.


Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter

Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.

History/Origin

The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.

Current Use

Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
