Hundredweight To Metric Ton (Cwt To T) Converter

The Hundredweight To Metric Ton (Cwt To T) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert weights measured in hundredweights (Cwt) into metric tons (T). This is especially useful for those working in industries like shipping, manufacturing, or logistics where different weight units are used.

A hundredweight (Cwt) is a unit of weight that can vary depending on the country. In the United States, one hundredweight equals 100 pounds. In the UK, a hundredweight (also called long hundredweight) equals 112 pounds. For this converter, we typically use the US hundredweight of 100 pounds unless specified otherwise.

A metric ton (T), also known as a tonne, is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms, or approximately 2,204.62 pounds. It is the standard unit of weight in the metric system used worldwide.

To convert from hundredweights to metric tons, you can use the following formula:
Metric Tons (T) = (Number of Hundredweights (Cwt) × 100 pounds) ÷ 2,204.62 pounds

Alternatively, since 1 Cwt (US) equals 100 pounds, the simplified formula becomes:
T = Cwt × 100 ÷ 2,204.62

This converter automates the calculation for you, making it quick and easy to switch between these units without manual math. Just input the number of hundredweights, and the tool will display the equivalent weight in metric tons.
