A metric ton is a unit of weight,

whereas a cubic meter is a unit of

volume, so there is no conversion.

Think of it this way: A metric ton of

styrofoam will occupy far more

volume than a metric ton of lead or tungsten. For water at 4C and 760mmHg 1

liter equals 1 kilogram, although

this is no longer the SI definition of

one liter. So for water at ideal

conditions 1 metric ton = 1 cubic

meter. Many industries dealing with fluids at or near the density of

water use this equivalency as a

shortcut even if it is not quite

accurate.
