tonne is referred to as metric ton. In the UK a Ton is 2,240 pounds (1,016 kg) (avoirdupois pounds).[2] In the United States and Canada,[3] however, a ton is defined to be 2,000 pounds (907 kg).

For water at 4C and 760mmHg 1 liter equals 1 kilogram, although this is no longer the SI definition of one liter. So for water at ideal conditions 1 metric ton = 1 cubic meter. Many industries dealing with fluids at or near the density of water use this equivalency as a shortcut even if it is not quite accurate.
