Quick answer

  • 1 kilocalorie = 0.000001 tons of TNT
  • 1 ton of TNT = 1,000,000 kilocalories
  • Formula: t TNT = kcal × 0.000001

1 kilocalorie = 0.000001 tons of TNT

How to convert kilocalories to tons of TNT

t TNT = kcal × 0.000001

To convert kilocalories to tons of TNT, multiply the number of kilocalories by 0.000001.

Example: 10 kcal to t TNT

  1. Start with the value in kilocalories: 10 kcal.
  2. Multiply by 0.000001: 10 × 0.000001 = 0.00001.
  3. Result: 10 kilocalories = 0.00001 tons of TNT.

Going the other way, 1 ton of TNT = 1,000,000 kilocalories, so to convert tons of TNT back to kilocalories you divide by the same number. See tons of TNT to kilocalories.
