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).
How many kilograms are in a metric ton? To differentiate between the different tons, the system has come up with the long ton, tonne and short ton. The long ton weighs 2,240 pounds, the tonne weighs 1,000 kilograms (2,204.6 pounds) and the short ton weighs 2,000 pounds (907.2 kilograms). The long ton and the tonne are commonly used in the United Kingdom for trade. The short ton is used in the United States.
