Convert Ounces to Long tons

1 ounce is 0.0000279 LT. One ounce is exactly 0.0000279017857143 long tons.

One ounce is 2.7902 × 10^-5 long tons. To convert ounces to long tons, multiply by 2.7902 × 10^-5; to go the other way, divide by 2.7902 × 10^-5 or multiply by 35840. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. One sixteenth of a pound.

What is an ounce?

One sixteenth of a pound. Not to be confused with the fluid ounce, which measures volume.

What is a long ton?

The British ton: 2,240 lb, against the US short ton’s 2,000 and the tonne’s 2,204.62. Three units, one word, and shipping documents use all three.

How many long tons are in an ounce?

One ounce is 2.7902 × 10^-5 long tons. Going the other way, one long ton is 35840 ounces. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
