세 가지 단위: 숏톤(미국) = 2,000 lb(907.185 kg), 롱톤(영국) = 2,240 lb(1,016.05 kg), 미터톤 = 1,000 kg(2,204.62 lb).
설명
The metric tonne (t) is the international standard and is approximately 10% heavier than a US short ton. Cargo shipping uses metric tonnes; US coal and grain trade uses short tons; UK steel production historically used long tons. A compact car weighs roughly 1.3–1.5 metric tonnes. The word 'ton' without qualification almost always means short ton in US contexts and metric tonne in scientific contexts.
