High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Long ton (weight ton or imperial ton) is the name for the unit called the "ton" in the avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements, as used in the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries. It has been mostly replaced by the tonne, and in the United States by the short ton. It is equal to 2,240 pounds (1,016 kg) or 35 cubic feet (0.9911 m3) of salt water with a density of 64 lb/ft3 (1.025 g/mL). It has some limited use in the United States, most commonly in measuring the displacement of ships, and was the unit prescribed for warships by international agreements between the world wars, for example battleships were limited to 35,000 long tons. The long ton approximates the metric ton, 1,000 kg or 2,205 lb, more closely than the "short ton", which is equal to 2,000 pounds (907 kg).
