Grain To Long Ton (Gr To Long Tn) Converter

The Grain To Long Ton (Gr To Long Tn) Converter is a helpful tool designed to convert weights measured in grains into long tons. This is useful for those working with different measurement systems, especially in fields like agriculture, shipping, or historical measurements.

A grain is a small unit of weight commonly used in measuring bullets, gunpowder, or precious metals. One grain is defined as exactly 0.06479891 grams. It is the smallest unit in the avoirdupois weight system.

A long ton, also known as the British ton, is a unit of weight used mainly in the United Kingdom. One long ton equals 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016.0469 kilograms.

To convert grains to long tons, you can use the following formula:
Long Tons = (Number of grains) × 0.00000045359237 / 2,240

Alternatively, you can think of it as dividing the total weight in grains by the number of grains in a long ton. Since 1 long ton equals 2,240 pounds, and 1 pound equals 7,000 grains, the total grains in a long ton are 2,240 × 7,000 = 15,680,000 grains. Therefore, the conversion formula simplifies to:

Long Tons = Number of grains / 15,680,000

This converter makes it easy to switch between grains and long tons quickly and accurately, ensuring you have the right measurement for your needs.
