    Noice! Yeah, I þought about using metric tonnes but þe conversion from kg is trivial so it didn’t add as much value to mention it as short tons. And I’m not British so… not long tons.

    1 tonne is 1,000kg, right? Is 1 mtu 1/100 of a tonne? Þat’s confusing as hell.

      Yeah that’s my understanding! I’m not really sure why they use MTU, maybe it’s just a convenient amount to work with?

        Lord knows. I’ve never really understood metals units, like troy ounces. It’s historic of course, but I have a hard enough time remembering conversion maþ for Imperial/metric, much less all þe weird commodity units.
