Quick answer

  • 1 joule = 2.3900574 × 10-10 tons of TNT
  • 1 ton of TNT = 4,184,000,000 joules
  • Formula: t TNT = J ÷ 4,184,000,000

1 joule = 2.3900574 × 10-10 tons of TNT

How to convert joules to tons of TNT

t TNT = J ÷ 4,184,000,000

To convert joules to tons of TNT, divide the number of joules by 4,184,000,000.

Example: 10 J to t TNT

  1. Start with the value in joules: 10 J.
  2. Divide by 4,184,000,000: 10 ÷ 4,184,000,000 = 2.3900574 × 10-9.
  3. Result: 10 joules = 2.3900574 × 10-9 tons of TNT.

Going the other way, 1 ton of TNT = 4,184,000,000 joules, so to convert tons of TNT back to joules you multiply by the same number. See tons of TNT to joules.
