What are Grain and Ton

Definition of Grain

A grain is a unit of measurement of mass that is traditionally used in the field of agriculture and in certain industries such as pharmaceutics. It is equivalent to 1/7000th of a pound or 64.79891 milligrams. The term ‘grain’ originated from the weight of a single seed of cereal, historically wheat or barley, and has been used since ancient times in various regions. Today, the grain is predominantly used to weigh bullets, propellants, and arrows, maintaining its relevance in specific contexts where small units of mass are essential.

Definition of Ton

A ton is a unit of mass with origins in the large-scale trade of goods. Historically, the term ‘ton’ referred to a large cask or ‘tun’ of wine, which weighed approximately 2,240 pounds in the UK, known as the long ton. In the United States, the ton, often referred to as a ‘short ton’, is equivalent to 2,000 pounds. This unit is widely used in industries for measuring large quantities of material, from shipping and freight to construction materials like aggregate and earth, facilitating large-scale logistics and commerce.
