Since I do this a lot, I made a nice calculator for myself for plate
and rounds. I use it a lot from my cell phone browser.

Feel free to use it.

In the query I tried, your program used the word "tons" (non-metric)
where it should be "tonnes" (metric). For example, it displays

113.70 tons
250138.24 lbs

(113.46 would be a more accurate answer; there are
about 2204.62 pounds per tonne, not 2200.)
