Convert Ounces to Tonnes

1 ounce is 0.00002835 t. One ounce is exactly 0.000028349523125 tonnes.

One ounce is 2.8350 × 10^-5 tonnes. To convert ounces to tonnes, multiply by 2.8350 × 10^-5; to go the other way, divide by 2.8350 × 10^-5 or multiply by 35273.962. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. One sixteenth of a pound.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 44 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.

How do you convert ounces to tonnes? The converter and the working

  1. 1.Take the measurement in ounces.
  2. 2.Multiply by 2.8350 × 10^-5 — that is how many tonnes fit in one ounce.
  3. 3.To go back the other way, divide by 2.8350 × 10^-5, or multiply by 35273.962.

Worked example: 25 ounces to tonnes

Formula
oz × 2.8350 × 10^-5 = t
Arithmetic
25 × 2.8350 × 10^-5 = 0.0007087 t
Answer
25 oz = 0.0007087 t

The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is an ounce?

One sixteenth of a pound. Not to be confused with the fluid ounce, which measures volume.

What is a tonne?

One thousand kilograms, also called the metric ton — 2,204.6 pounds.

How many tonnes are in an ounce?

One ounce is 2.8350 × 10^-5 tonnes. Going the other way, one tonne is 35273.962 ounces. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
