In the United Kingdom the ton is defined as 2,240 avoirdupois pounds (1,016 kg). From 1965 the UK embarked upon a programme of metrication and gradually introduced metric units, including the tonne (metric ton), defined as 1000 kg (2,204.6 lbs).
The conversion of a mass in kilograms into pounds also shows that 1 kilogram is a larger unit than 1 pound, as 1 kilogram converts to 2.2 pounds. The kilogram is the basic unit of mass in the metric system, while the pound is the basic weight or force unit in the customary English system of measurement. A ton is a unit of mass equivalent to 2,000 pounds. A metric ton consists of 1,000 kilograms and has a weight of 2,204.6 pounds.
