Hundredweight To Long Ton (Cwt To Long Tn) Converter

The Hundredweight To Long Ton (Cwt To Long Tn) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert weights measured in hundredweights (cwt) to long tons (long tons). This is especially useful for industries like shipping, freight, and manufacturing where different weight units are commonly used.

A hundredweight (cwt) is a unit of weight that varies by region, but in the context of the long ton, it is typically defined as 112 pounds (lbs). The long ton, also known as the imperial ton, is a larger unit of weight equal to 2,240 pounds (lbs). Understanding these definitions helps you accurately convert between the two units.

The basic formula to convert hundredweights (cwt) to long tons (long Tn) is:
Long Tons = (Cwt × 112) / 2,240

In this formula, you multiply the number of hundredweights by 112 (the number of pounds in one hundredweight), then divide the result by 2,240 (the number of pounds in a long ton). This calculation gives you the equivalent weight in long tons, making it easy to switch between these units for your specific needs.
