Convert metal quotations from different weight units into comparable price per metric tonne and US short ton. USD is the default currency for this international calculator.
Add up to five quotations. Each quotation is normalized to both metric tonne and US short ton.
How do I calculate metal price per ton? Convert the quoted quantity to kilograms, then multiply the price per kilogram by either 1,000 for a metric tonne or 907.18474 for a US short ton.
What is the difference between tonne and short ton? A metric tonne is 1,000 kg. A US short ton is 2,000 lb, or approximately 907.18474 kg.
Can I convert price per kg to price per tonne? Yes. Multiply price per kg by 1,000.
Can I convert price per pound to price per ton? Yes. Multiply price per pound by 2,204.62262 for a metric tonne or by 2,000 for a US short ton.
What is the default currency? USD is the default currency. Additional currencies are available for international quotations.
Does this convert currencies? No. It converts weight units and keeps the selected currency. Cross-currency quotations should first be converted to one currency using the relevant exchange rate.
Does price per ton include shipping? No. Freight, taxes, duties, insurance, processing and other costs are separate unless they are already included in the quoted price.
Can I use this for scrap metal? Yes. It can normalize scrap quotations to metric-tonne or US-short-ton prices for comparison.
