Pounds (lb) to Long tons (LT) Conversion
Pounds
The pound (avoirdupois) is a unit of mass equal to exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, standardised in 1959. It is the primary unit of mass in the US customary and British imperial systems, used for body weight, food packaging, and commercial transactions. The pound is subdivided into 16 ounces. In US engineering, the distinction between pound-mass (lbm) and pound-force (lbf) is a frequent source of calculation errors.
Long tons
The long ton is a unit of mass equal to exactly 2,240 pounds (approximately 1,016.05 kilograms), used primarily in the United Kingdom and countries that have historically used the British imperial system. It is standard in the British shipping, maritime, and mining industries, where the displacement of vessels is expressed in long tons. The long ton differs from the US short ton (2,000 lb) by 240 pounds — a distinction critical in international cargo contracts and commodities trading.
