Long ton

rdfs:comment

Long ton (weight ton or imperial ton) is the name for the unit called the "ton" in the avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements, as used in the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries. It has been mostly replaced by the short ton in the United States and the tonne (metric ton) elsewhere. It is equal to pounds (kg) or cubic feet (m³) of salt water with a density of 1.025 g/ml. It has some limited use in the United States, most commonly in measuring the displacement of ships, and was the unit prescribed for warships (e.g. battleships limited to long tons (t)) in the international agreements between the world wars.

Long ton (weight ton or imperial ton) is the name for the unit called the "ton" in the avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements, as used in the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries. It has been mostly replaced by the short ton in the United States and the tonne (metric ton) elsewhere. It is equal to pounds (kg) or cubic feet (m³) of salt water with a density of 1.025 g/ml.

Sulphur as recovered in an oil refinery is a product that is commonly measured in long tons. The standard ton in the U.S. measurement system is the "short ton", equal to pounds (kg) (exactly). Both long and short tons are defined as 20 hundredweights, but a hundredweight is pounds (kg) (which is equal to 8 stone, stone/ kilograms) in the Imperial system (long or gross hundredweight) and pounds (kg) in the U.S. system (short or net hundredweight). The spelling "tonne" denotes the metric tonne of kg (lb) (approximately). A long ton-force is pounds-force (N).
