Formula: ktTNT = MJ × 2.390057e-7

Reverse: MJ = ktTNT × 4,184,000

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Megajoule. For example: 5 MJ
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 2.390057e-7
The result is: 1.195029e-6 ktTNT

About Megajoule

The megajoule (MJ) is a unit of energy and work. One megajoule equals 1.000000 × 10^+6 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

The kiloton of tnt (ktTNT) is a unit of energy and work. One kiloton of tnt equals 4.184000 × 10^+12 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.
