تحويل الطن الطويل إلى الحجر: قياسات الوزن البريطانية

One long ton equals exactly 160 stones. This is a fixed conversion defined by the avoirdupois weight system used in Britain and Commonwealth nations. To convert long tons to stones, multiply the number of long tons by 160. For example, 2.5 long tons = 2.5 × 160 = 400 stones. This differs from the short ton (US ton), which equals approximately 142.857 stones.

Historical tradition and industry continuity drive the persistence of these units. In agriculture and livestock trading, generations of farmers, veterinarians, and traders have built their expertise and record systems around stones and long tons. The UK government permits these units for specific applications, and international trade between Commonwealth nations and with heritage-focused industries maintains their relevance. Transitioning to metric would require updating centuries of institutional knowledge and market practices.
