Exactly 32,150.75 troy ounces equal one long ton. This precise conversion factor is critical for precious metals trading and inventory management. A long ton is defined as 2,240 pounds avoirdupois, and since 1 troy ounce equals approximately 31.1035 grams or 0.0685714 avoirdupois pounds, multiplying 2,240 by 14.5833 (troy ounces per avoirdupois pound) yields 32,150.75 troy ounces. For quick mental math, remember that 1 long ton ≈ 32,150 troy ounces.

Troy ounces became the international standard for precious metals because they provide appropriate precision for high-value commodities. A troy ounce of gold is a manageable unit for trading and verification, while long tons would result in unwieldy decimals for most transactions. The troy ounce's historical use in jewelry and coinage, combined with its adoption by major commodity exchanges (COMEX, London Bullion Market), established it as the global standard. Long tons remain useful for reporting large inventory quantities in mining and refining operations, particularly in Commonwealth nations.
