What are Ton and Grain

Definition of Ton

A ton, often referred to as a long ton in the UK, is a unit of weight equal to 2,240 pounds. This measurement is primarily used in the United Kingdom and other countries using the Imperial system. It differs slightly from the short ton, which is used in the United States and equals 2,000 pounds. The term 'ton' originated from the tun, a large cask used for shipping wine, which weighed approximately 2,240 pounds. Today, the ton is widely used in industries such as shipping, freight, and construction to quantify large masses.

Definition of Grain

A grain is a unit of mass that is based on the average mass of a single seed of a cereal, such as wheat or barley. Historically, it has been a part of various systems of measurement, including the troy, avoirdupois, and apothecaries' systems. One grain is equal to 1/7000th of a pound, or approximately 64.79891 milligrams. Though its use has declined, it remains significant in specific contexts, such as measuring the mass of gunpowder and bullets in ballistics, as well as in archery and the pharmaceutical industry.
