Kilo mean thousand. Therefore 2.7 kilotons equals 2000tons plus 7/10s of a ton. 2.7 kilotons = 2700 tons.

Thank you. I'm still not positive that the blast is equivalent to the amount of material stored. As substances have different properties. I know nukes are measured in equivalents of TNT. And I'm not certain that this ammonium nitrate would measure in the same way. If I recall it has to do with seismic waves and the the overdressed created, similar to what Jobes mentioned.

It was previously reported that 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate was stored at the harbour. I am marking this as misleading title.
