Metric tons (t) to Long tons (LT) Conversion
Metric tons
The metric ton (or tonne) is a unit of mass equal to exactly 1,000 kilograms, widely used in industry, agriculture, international trade, and environmental science. It is approximately equal to the mass of one cubic metre of water under standard conditions. It should be distinguished from the short ton (2,000 lb ≈ 907 kg) used in the United States and the long ton (2,240 lb ≈ 1,016 kg) used in the United Kingdom.
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.
