What is Long ton ?

A Long ton is a unit of weight measurement primarily used in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. It is equivalent to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms. The long ton is also known as the imperial ton or the British ton.

To break it down:
- 1 long ton = 2,240 pounds
- 1 pound = 0.00045359237 metric tons

In simpler terms, a long ton is slightly heavier than a metric ton (tonne), which is commonly used in most other parts of the world. For example, a long ton is approximately equal to 1.016 metric tons.

Long tons are typically used in industries such as shipping, mining, and agriculture, particularly in the United Kingdom and countries that were formerly part of the British Empire. They provide a specific and recognized unit of weight for measuring large quantities of goods, particularly bulk commodities like coal, iron ore, and grains.

Understanding long tons is important for international trade and shipping, as different countries may use varying units of measurement. It helps ensure accuracy in transactions and logistics operations, particularly when dealing with goods that are traded globally and require precise measurement in tons.


What is Dram ?

A Dram (abbreviated as dr) is a unit of mass or weight measurement historically used in both the apothecaries' system and the avoirdupois system, primarily in the United Kingdom and the United States.

To provide context:
- In the avoirdupois system, 1 dram is equal to 1/16th of an ounce, which is approximately 1.772 grams.
- In the apothecaries' system, 1 dram is equal to 1/8th of an ounce, which is approximately 3.8879 grams.

In modern usage, the dram is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for measuring small quantities of medications, particularly in liquid form. It is also used in some specialized fields such as chemistry and in some legal systems for measuring quantities of precious metals. However, its use has declined over time as more standardized and precise metric units have become prevalent.

Understanding the dram is important for historical and cultural contexts, particularly in fields where traditional units of measurement are still referenced or legally required. For everyday purposes and international trade, the metric system, with units like grams and kilograms, is generally more widely accepted and understood.
