A long ton is defined as exactly 2,240 pounds. The long ton arises from the traditional British measurement system: A long ton is 20 cwt, each of which is 8 stone (1 stone = 14 pounds). Thus a long ton is 20 Ã 8 Ã 14 lb = 2,240 lb.
In the United States, the ton most commonly used is the short ton. In the United Kingdom, a tonne is a metric ton and is equal to 1,000 kilograms or 2,240 pounds. To avoid confusion, these terms are commonly called long tons and short tons.. The term ton can also be used as a measurement of power.
