Convert Kiloton to Long Ton
Kiloton
The kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000,000 kilograms (1,000,000 kg) or 1,000 metric tons. It is used to measure very large masses, such as in industry and transportation.
The kiloton was introduced as part of the metric system to represent large quantities of mass. It is commonly used in fields like shipping, agriculture, and environmental science.
Long Ton
The long ton (symbol lt) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries. It is equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016.05 kilograms. The long ton is part of the imperial system and is larger than both the short ton (used in the U.S.) and the metric ton.
The long ton originated in medieval England as a standardized measure for trade, particularly for goods like coal and other bulk materials. It was defined as 20 long hundredweight, with each long hundredweight being 112 pounds. This measure became part of the British Imperial System in 1824 and has been widely used in maritime and industrial contexts, especially in the UK, before the metric system was more broadly adopted.
