Scale illustration of 1 tonne loaded pallet, calibrated to its mass measurement.
The marked mass represents 1 t.

A little perspective

About the same scale as Giraffe.

Giraffe: A giraffe is an African mammal distinguished by its extremely long neck and legs, feeding mainly on tree leaves.

Why this measurement?

Why we use 1 t

For comparison, this page uses mass. This is labelled example: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value.
