Formula

Tons of TNT = Kilojoules ÷ 4,184,000

or

ton-tnt = kJ ÷ 4.184e6

Step-by-step process

  1. Take the measurement in kilojoules
  2. Divide that number by 4,184,000
  3. 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
