Convert Dalton to Short Ton
Dalton
The dalton (Da) or unified atomic mass unit (u) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. It is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state, and it is approximately equal to 1.66053906660 × 10⁻²⁷ kg.
The dalton is named after the English chemist and physicist John Dalton, who developed the atomic theory of matter. The unit was adopted in 1961 by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) to provide a standardized unit for atomic and molecular weights.
Short Ton
The short ton (symbol tn or t) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United States. It is equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms. The short ton is part of the U.S. customary system and is smaller than both the long ton (used in the UK) and the metric ton.
The short ton originated in the U.S. as a way to standardize weight measurements, particularly for bulk commodities like coal and steel. It is called "short" to distinguish it from the long ton (also known as the imperial ton), which is used in the UK and equals 2,240 pounds. The short ton became widely used in the United States during the 19th century as part of the U.S. customary system of measurements.
