Formula: ktTNT = kJ × 2.390057e-10

Reverse: kJ = ktTNT × 4.184000e+9

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Kilojoule. For example: 5 kJ
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 2.390057e-10
The result is: 1.195029e-9 ktTNT

About Kilojoule

The kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy and work. One kilojoule equals 1000 joules. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other energy unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: energy calculations, engineering and science, education.

About Kiloton of TNT
