- trobertson 9y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton#Units_of_mass.2Fweight https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton#Units_of_mass.2Fweight Metric ton / tonne: 1000 kg Imperial (long) ton: 2240 lbs (1016 kg) (UK) Imperial (short) ton: 2000 lbs (907 kg) (USA, Canada)
- pvinis 9y agoOh. Thanks! I was expecting the imperial ton to have a different name like most other metric/imperial units. TIL.
- xhedley 9y agoUK imperial ton 2240 pounds = 1016kg. UK now uses only metric ton = 1000kg. USA ton 2000 pounds = 907kg. I believe this ton is still in use.
