About Kilogram and Imperial Ton

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by the old platinum-iridium prototype. It is the reference for every other mass unit on this site. The imperial (long) ton is 2,240 pounds, exactly 1,016.0469088 kilograms, slightly heavier than the metric tonne. It persists in British maritime usage and ship displacement figures. One Kilogram equals 0.0009842065276 Imperial Tons (1 kg = 0.0009842065276 long-ton). Kilogram is used in body weight outside the US and in groceries and food packaging worldwide. Imperial Ton is used in ship displacement figures.

Precision and Rounding:Metric-imperial mass factors are exact (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg by the 1959 agreement), so precision is purely a display choice. One decimal place is enough for body weight and cooking; nutrition labeling, pharmacy, and lab work need the full factor before rounding.

Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
