Metric Tonne

The tonne (symbol: t) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1000 kilograms. It is also referred to as a metric ton to distinguish it from the non-metric units of short ton, and long ton. It is equivalent to approximately 2,204.6 pounds, 1.102 short tons, and 0.984 long tons. The official SI unit is the megagram (symbol: Mg), a less common way to express the same mass.

Pound

The pound or pound-mass (symbol: lb) is a unit of mass used in British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Today the pound is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. One pound contains 16 ounces. This unit is descended from the Roman libra (hence the abbreviation 'lb'). The English word pound is cognate with, among others, German Pfund, Dutch pond, and Swedish pund.
