Where this conversion comes up
Tons are used for trucks, gravel, AC capacity and shipping in the US; kilograms for body weight, luggage and groceries outside the US. Used for truck loads, vehicle weights and freight. One US short ton is 907.18474 kg, not 1,000: a metric tonne is 1,000 kg and a long ton 1,016.05 kg, so a 5-ton load is 4,535.9 kg in US tons but 5,000 kg in tonnes.

Common mistakes
