To convert Imperial Ton to Metric Ton, multiply the Imperial Ton value by 1.0160469. This factor is derived from the ratio between the two units.
The imperial ton, also called the long ton, is a unit of mass equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms. It was historically used in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries for trade and shipping.
History
The long ton is based on the imperial hundredweight of 112 pounds, with 20 hundredweight making one ton. It was the standard ton in British trade for centuries before being largely replaced by the metric ton in international commerce.
A metric ton (also called tonne) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.6 pounds. It is the standard unit for measuring large quantities in international trade, shipping, and industry.
History
The metric ton was introduced with the metric system and is derived from the French word 'tonne.' Unlike the US short ton (2,000 lb) and the imperial long ton (2,240 lb), the metric ton is based on the decimal system. It was officially adopted in France in 1795.
