Mass
Convert pound (lb) to tonne (t). Mass is the amount of matter — the basis of inventory, batch charges, and material balances, quoted in kg, tonnes, or pounds.
1 lb = 0.0004535924 t
To convert pound to tonne, multiply the lb value by 0.0004535924. To go the other way, divide by 0.0004535924 (or multiply by 2204.623).

Batch charges and inventories are weighed in kg or lb; bulk quantities in tonnes.
Do not confuse mass with force: a kilogram is mass, a kilogram-force is weight under standard gravity.
Worked example. A mass of 2204.623 lb is 1 t.
