What are Grain and Ton

Definition of Grain

A grain is a unit of mass commonly used in the troy weight, avoirdupois, and apothecaries' systems. It is equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams. Historically, the grain was based on the weight of a single seed of cereal, such as barley or wheat. While it is the smallest unit in these systems, its precision and historical significance make it vital in various fields. Notably, it is used in measuring arrow and bullet weights, and even in precious metals, where exactitude is crucial.

Definition of Ton

A ton is a unit of weight with various definitions. The long ton, used predominantly in the UK, is equivalent to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms. It originated from the tun, a large cask used in the wine trade, and has been standardized over time for broader applications. The ton is essential in industries like shipping, where large quantities of materials are measured. Its consistency offers a reliable metric for global trade and heavy industries, ensuring standardized and comprehensible weight measurements.
