Get your (tons|tonnes) straight!
FYI:
Metric Ton, also spelled Tonne, is equal to 1000 kilograms, or 2204.6226 pounds. Technically it should be called a “megagram”, but nobody uses that unit.
Short Ton, equal to 2000 pounds, is the ‘normal’ ton in the American system.
Long Ton, equal to 2240 pounds, is the ‘normal’ ton in the old Imperial system. Still used to measure the displacement of ships (even in America.)
