Kiloton
A kiloton (kton) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.
History/Origin
The term 'kiloton' has been used historically to measure large quantities of mass, especially in contexts like military explosives and nuclear weapon yields, where it signifies the equivalent of 1,000 tons of TNT.
Current Use
Today, kilotons are primarily used to quantify the explosive power of nuclear weapons and large-scale energy measurements, as well as in some industrial and scientific applications involving large masses.
Ton-Hour (Refrigeration)
A ton-hour (ton*h) is a unit of energy representing the amount of cooling provided by one ton of refrigeration over one hour.
History/Origin
The ton-hour originated from the refrigeration industry, where the 'ton' is a unit of cooling capacity, and the hour indicates the duration. It has been used historically to quantify cooling energy consumption and capacity.
Current Use
Today, the ton-hour is used in HVAC and refrigeration systems to measure cooling energy consumption, system capacity, and performance over specific periods.
