Units explained
Kilogram-force square second/meter
The kilogram-force second-squared per meter (the hyl or TME) is about 9.807 kg.
The mass unit of the metric gravitational (technical) system.
Older continental European engineering practice.
Used in the metric technical system before SI adoption.
Metric Ton
The metric ton (t) equals exactly 1,000 kilograms; it is also called the tonne.
From 'tun', a large medieval cask; 'metric' distinguishes it from imperial tons.
The global standard for trade, freight, and heavy industry.
Recognized internationally with the spread of the metric system in the late 19th century.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 hyl to t:
1 × 0.00980665 = 0.00980665 t
Example 2 — Convert 100 hyl to t:
100 × 0.00980665 = 0.980665 t
Real-world example — Metric distance scale-up
One thousand kilogram-force square second/meters equals one metric ton — the running distance for a 1K race or the standard metric kilometre-scale step. The simple thousand-fold conversion is the most-used metric distance translation.
1000 hyl × 0.00980665 = 9.80665 t
Real-world example — Imperial mile arithmetic
5,280 kilogram-force square second/meters equals exactly one metric ton. American hikers tracking elevation gain in the smaller unit but trail length in the larger one use this constant every time they read a topographic map.
5280 hyl × 0.00980665 = 51.779112 t
Real-world example — Imperial yard-to-mile scale
1,760 kilogram-force square second/meters equals exactly one metric ton. American athletes and surveyors use this conversion to translate distances quoted in the smaller imperial unit into recognizable fractions of the larger geographic one.
1760 hyl × 0.00980665 = 17.259704 t
