Formula
Tons of TNT = Kilojoules ÷ 4,184,000
or
ton-tnt = kJ ÷ 4.184e6
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in kilojoules
- Divide that number by 4,184,000
- The result is the equivalent energy in tons of TNT
Examples
- 10,000,000 kJ = 10,000,000 ÷ 4,184,000 = 2.39 tons of TNT
- 50,000,000 kJ = 50,000,000 ÷ 4,184,000 = 11.95 tons of TNT
- 100,000,000 kJ = 100,000,000 ÷ 4,184,000 = 23.9 tons of TNT
