To find out how many kilograms there are in "x" tons, multiply the number of tons "x" by 907.18 for US, 1016.04 for UK or 1000 for metric system.
1 Metric Ton = 1 000 Kilograms
1 Short Ton [US] = 907.18474 Kilograms
1 Long Ton [UK] = 1 016.04691 Kilograms
For example, to calculate how many kilograms there are in a half metric ton, multiply the ton value by the conversion factor, 1/2 ton * 1000 = 500 kg in a half metric ton.
