How Much is a Long Ton?

One long ton is equal to 2,240 pounds and is mostly used in the United Kingdom as a unit of mass/weight.^[1] Long tons are not the same as the short ton, which is used mostly in the United States, or the metric ton which is used throughout the world.

How to Convert Long Tons

To convert long tons to another unit of weight, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.^[2]

You can find the conversion factors for long tons in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the weight measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

long tons × conversion factor = result

You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
