One bone dry ton (BDT) is a volume of wood chips (or other bulk material) that would weigh one ton (2000 pounds, or 0.9072 metric tons) if all the moisture content was removed.

Note the difference between "ton" (also known as US short ton) and "metric ton" (also known as tonne). A ton weighs 2000 pounds, while a metric ton weighs 2204.623 pounds.
