I was talking about when the pounds are converted to Kilos before calculating displacement, since Kilos is the way to go, the math is always done wrong.What you are trying to point out...:-P That you know why we use Kilo's in the Balast programs?
Just that I would never use pounds in the formula.
Also, when speaking of Tons, you have the metric ton which is 1000 kilograms and that is about 2205 pounds. Most people assume ton as a "short ton" which is 2000 pounds. As you can see, there's a couple hundred pounds difference between the two so it might not be a conversion issue but an assumed unit problem.
