How to convert tons of TNT to terajoules
TJ = t TNT × 0.004184
To convert tons of TNT to terajoules, multiply the number of tons of TNT by 0.004184.
Example: 4 t TNT to TJ
Start with the value in tons of TNT: 4 t TNT.
Multiply by 0.004184: 4 × 0.004184 = 0.016736.
Result: 4 tons of TNT = 0.016736 terajoules .
Going the other way, 1 terajoule = 239.005736138 tons of TNT, so to convert terajoules back to tons of TNT you divide by the same number. See terajoules to tons of TNT .
