What is a US ton?
The short ton: 2,000 pounds. A metric tonne is about 10% heavier and a British long ton about 12%.
What is a grain?
Exactly 64.79891 milligrams, the unit both the avoirdupois and troy systems are built from. Bullet weights and powder charges are still measured in it, and so are some pharmaceutical doses.
How many grains are in a US ton?
One US ton is 14000000 grains, exactly. Going the other way, one grain is 7.1429 × 10^-8 US tons. 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.
