WEIGHT

1000 grams (1000g) = 1 kilogram (1 kg)
1000 kilograms (1000kg) = 1 tonne (1t)
1 tonne (1t) = 22051bs
The old imperial ton = 2240lbs

There are slight differences between manufacturers' approximate weights and actual weights. Again, the best advice is to calculate using metric to avoid shortfalls.

Conversion Factors:

Imperial to metric:	Metric to Imperial:
lb x 0.45359 = kg	kg x 2.20462 = lb.
cwt x 50.8 = kg	kg x 0.0197 = cwt
oz x 28.3 = g	g x 0.035 = oz
