How to convert tons to grams
grams = tons × 907,185
Example: 3 tons × 907,185 = 2,721,554 g.
Multiply the tons by 907,185 for a US ton. The exact factor is 907,184.74, because a US ton is 2,000 pounds and each pound is exactly 453.59237 grams.
A factor this long is easy to mistype, so it often helps to go through kilograms. Multiply the tons by 907.18474, then move the decimal point three places to the right: 0.25 ton is 226.796 kg, or 226,796 g.
Expect long answers. A US ton is just under a million grams, so even a quarter ton runs to six digits.
How many grams are in a metric tonne?
Exactly 1,000,000. A metric tonne is 1,000 kilograms, and each kilogram is 1,000 grams, so there are no decimals to round. Its international name is the tonne, and NIST notes that in the US it is called the metric ton (NIST Guide to the SI).
That gives three different gram totals behind the one word ton: 907,185 for the US ton, 1,000,000 for the tonne and 1,016,047 for the old British long ton. Check the spelling and the source before you pick one.
Grams per ton and parts per million
Tiny amounts mixed into a large mass can be written as grams per ton. One gram per metric tonne is one part per million by weight, because a tonne holds 1,000,000 grams. One gram per US ton works out to 1.102 parts per million, since that ton is lighter.
Scale a per-ton amount by weight. A half-ton batch mixed at 20 g per ton needs 10 g.
