Ton (Long)

A long ton, also known as the imperial ton or UK ton, is a unit of weight equal to 2,240 pounds or 1,016.0469 kilograms.

History/Origin

The long ton originated in the United Kingdom as a standard measurement for large quantities of goods and materials, particularly in shipping and trade, during the 19th century. It was used alongside other imperial units before the adoption of the metric system.

Current Use

Today, the long ton is primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries for measuring large quantities of freight, cargo, and in certain industrial contexts. It is less common internationally, having been largely replaced by the metric ton (tonne).


Exagram

An exagram (Eg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^18 grams, used to measure extremely large quantities of mass.

History/Origin

Current Use

Exagrams are primarily used in scientific research, astronomy, and large-scale industrial applications to quantify massive amounts of material or celestial bodies.
