लॉन्ग टन से किलोग्राम रूपांतरण: शिपिंग, कृषि और भारी उद्योग

One long ton equals exactly 1,016.047 kilograms. This comes from the definition of a long ton as 2,240 pounds avoirdupois, with each pound equaling 453.59237 grams by international agreement. This is approximately 1.6% heavier than a metric tonne (1,000 kg) and 12% heavier than a US short ton (907.185 kg). For quick mental math, remember that a long ton is roughly 1,016 kg or about 1.016 metric tonnes.

Long tons remain in UK maritime law and port operations due to historical precedent and international maritime convention. The International Maritime Organization's regulations reference long tons in official vessel specifications and cargo documentation standards. While modern digital systems display both units, long tons persist because changing centuries-old legal frameworks would require international agreement. Commonwealth ports maintain this system for consistency with UK standards and historical commercial contracts that specify long tons.
