What is Tonnage?
Tonnage refers to the weight of a material or object in tons. It’s commonly used in shipping, construction, and logistics to estimate load, capacity, and transport cost.
Why This Calculator is Useful:
- Helps estimate the weight of bulk materials like concrete, metal, water, sand, etc.
- Used in freight planning, marine engineering, factory production, and structural calculations
