How to Convert Long Ton (UK) to Teragram
To convert long tons to kg: multiply by 1,016.047. To convert long tons to short tons: multiply by 1.12.
1 long ton = 2,240 lb = 1,016.047 kg = 1.016 metric tonnes = 1.12 short tons.
For example, 1 Long Ton (UK) (ton (UK)) = 0.000001016046909 Teragram (Tg).

About Long Ton (UK) (ton (UK))
Definition
The long ton (imperial ton) is a unit of mass equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms.
Mathematical Relationship
1 long ton = 2,240 lb = 1,016.047 kg = 1.016 metric tonnes = 1.12 short tons.
Conversion Formula
To convert long tons to kg: multiply by 1,016.047. To convert long tons to short tons: multiply by 1.12.
Practical Applications
Ship displacement tonnage (historical, some naval vessels still use it), and some UK agricultural contexts.
Interesting Facts
Naval ship displacement is traditionally given in long tons. HMS Titanic displaced about 52,310 long tons.
Common Mistakes
Assuming a 'ton' is a 'ton' — the long ton is 12% heavier than a short ton and 1.6% heavier than a metric tonne.
Educational Tips
Easy memory: Long ton = British = 2,240 lb (long = larger). Short ton = US = 2,000 lb (short = smaller).
About Teragram (Tg)
Definition
The teragram equals 10¹² grams or one million tonnes (one megatonne).
Mathematical Relationship
1 Tg = 10¹² g = 10⁹ kg = 10⁶ tonnes = 1 megatonne.
Conversion Formula
To convert Tg to tonnes: multiply by 10⁶. To convert Tg to Gg: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
Global carbon budgets (~10,000 Tg C/year from fossil fuels), volcanic eruption plume masses.
Interesting Facts
Earth's atmosphere has a total mass of about 5.15 × 10⁶ Tg (5.15 × 10¹⁸ kg).
Common Mistakes
Confusing Tg with Pg (petagram): 1 Pg = 1,000 Tg. Climate papers use both — check carefully.
Educational Tips
Global CO₂ emissions ≈ 36,000 Tg/year (or 36 Pg/year). This is a key climate number to remember.
