Convert centigram to tonne
Please provide values below to convert centigram [cg] to tonne [t], or Convert tonne to centigram.
1 cg = 1e-08 t. To convert centigram to tonne, multiply the value by 1e-08; to go the other way, divide by it (1 t = 100000000 cg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cg = 1e-08 t
- 1 t = 100000000 cg
- 10 cg = 1e-07 t
- 100 cg = 1e-06 t
How to Convert Centigram to Tonne
1 cg = 1e-08 t
Example: convert 15 cg to t:
15 cg = 15 × 1e-08 t = 1.5e-07 t

Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
Tonne
A tonne (symbol: t) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History/Origin
The tonne was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, consistent unit.
Current Use
The tonne is widely used internationally in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities.
Frequently Asked Questions
