One long ton equals exactly 2,722.22 troy pounds (or more precisely, 2,722 troy pounds and 2.667 troy ounces). This means if you have 1 long ton of gold or silver, you have 2,722.22 troy pounds of that precious metal. Conversely, 1 troy pound = 0.00036734 long tons. For example, a 100 troy pound gold bar equals 0.03673 long tons, while a shipment of 50,000 troy pounds of silver equals 18.365 long tons for customs and shipping purposes.

The troy system was developed specifically for precious metals because it provides greater precision for high-value items where small weight differences mean significant money. A troy pound is slightly lighter than an avoirdupois pound (373.24 grams vs 453.59 grams), allowing for more precise pricing per unit weight. The long ton system evolved for bulk commodities where absolute precision matters less than total volume. International precious metals markets standardized on troy measurements centuries ago, and this convention persists because changing it would disrupt trillions of dollars in established pricing and contracts.
