Long ton
Long ton is the name for the unit called the "ton" in the avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements that was used in the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries before metrication. One long ton is equal to 2,240 pounds, 1.12 times as much as a short ton and slightly larger than the 1,000 kilograms metric tonne, or 35 cubic feet of salt water with a density of 64 lb/cu ft. 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 the Washington Naval Treaty 1922—for example battleships were limited to a mass of 35,000 long tons. The Imperial ton was explicitly excluded from use for trade in the United Kingdom by the Weights and Measures Act 1985.
