Convert ton to lbs

Ton

定義
A “ton” can refer to three different weight measures:

• Short ton (US & Canada): 2,000 lb (≈ 907.185 kg)

• Long ton (UK & some Commonwealth countries): 2,240 lb (≈ 1 016.05 kg)

• Metric ton (tonne, t): exactly 1 000 kg (2 204.6226 lb)

起源
The word “ton” comes from the Old English チューン, meaning a large cask. Early wine and ale casks held about 2 000 lb and gave their name to the unit. Over centuries, regional practices produced the US “short” and UK “long” tons, while the metric ton (tonne) was standardized at 1 000 kg when SI was adopted.

現代の使用

• Short ton: standard in US and Canada for commodities, shipping, and industry

• Long ton: still seen in UK historical contexts and some maritime charts

• Metric ton (tonne): the global standard in science, trade, and most everyday applications; legally the “ton” for international commerce
