About these units
Kiloton (Metric) (kt)
A kiloton, equal to 1,000 metric tons, is used in large-scale industrial, geological, and agricultural contexts. However, the term is better known for expressing explosive yields, particularly of nuclear weapons. Scientists estimate the energy release of explosions by comparing them to the detonation of 1,000 tons of TNT. For example, the Hiroshima bomb had a yield of about 15 kilotons. Outside military contexts, kilotons appear in discussions of carbon emissions, waste production, and global resource extraction. They provide a manageable scale for describing quantities too large for tons but not yet at the megaton level.
Hectogram (hg)
A hectogram equals 100 grams and is common in food markets in Italy, Greece, and parts of Latin America. Consumers often purchase cheese, cold cuts, or dry goods in hectograms because it provides a comfortable scale—neither too large nor too small. In scientific contexts, hectograms sometimes appear in hydrology, meteorology, or soil science, where medium quantities are more intuitively expressed using this unit. Though overshadowed globally by the kilogram, the hectogram survives where cultural habits align with metric logic.
