About Metric Ton and Imperial Ton

The metric ton (tonne) is exactly 1,000 kilograms. Freight, agriculture, and industry quote bulk quantities in tonnes, and it differs from both the US and imperial ton. 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 Metric Ton equals 0.9842065276 Imperial Tons (1 t = 0.9842065276 long-ton). Metric Ton is used in shipping freight and cargo and in agricultural yields. 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.
