Convert dalton to ton (metric)
Please provide values below to convert dalton [Da] to ton (metric) [t], or Convert ton (metric) to dalton.
1 Da = 1.6605e-30 t. To convert dalton to ton (metric), multiply the value by 1.6605e-30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 t = 6.0221e+29 Da). 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 Da = 1.6605e-30 t
- 1 t = 6.0221e+29 Da
- 10 Da = 1.6605e-29 t
- 100 Da = 1.6605e-28 t
How to Convert Dalton to Ton (Metric)
1 Da = 1.6605390666e-30 t
Example: convert 15 Da to t:
15 Da = 15 × 1.6605390666e-30 t = 2.4908085999e-29 t

Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
Ton (Metric)
The metric ton (t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History/Origin
The metric ton was introduced as part of the metric system in the late 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, universal unit.
Current Use
The metric ton is widely used in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities worldwide.
