Discover the ease of converting mass from slugs to ton-long with our Slug to Ton-long Converter, crafted by Newtum to simplify your calculations.
A slug is a unit of mass used primarily in the British Engineering system and the United States customary units. It is defined as the mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s² when a force of one pound-force (lbf) is exerted on it. This makes it an important unit for dynamics and engineering calculations, particularly in fields that deal with forces and acceleration.
Definition of Ton-longThe term 'ton-long' refers to the long ton, which is a British measurement used for mass. One long ton equals 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms. It is larger than the short ton commonly used in the United States, which is 2,000 pounds. Historically, the long ton was used in the UK and other countries that employed the Imperial system of measurements.
| Slug | Ton-long |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.031081 |
| 2 | 0.062162 |
| 3 | 0.093243 |
| 4 | 0.124324 |

1 slug = 0.031081 ton-long
1 ton-long = 32.174 slugs
Example 1:
convert 5 slugs to ton-long:
5 slugs = 5 × 0.031081 ton-long = 0.155405 ton-long
Example 2:
convert 2 slugs to ton-long:
2 slugs = 2 × 0.031081 ton-long = 0.062162 ton-long
A brief history of the Slug to Ton-long Converter traces back to the use of the slug as a unit of mass in the British Engineering system and the long ton from the Imperial system. The converter emerged as a tool to bridge these two units, providing a means for engineers and scientists to easily translate between different systems of measurement.
Explore the practical applications of our Slug to Ton-long Converter and unveil how it can be a pivotal tool in various fields.
Example 1:
Convert 10 slugs to ton-long:
10 slugs = 10 × 0.031081 ton-long = 0.310810 ton-long
Example 2:
Convert 15 slugs to ton-long:
15 slugs = 15 × 0.031081 ton-long = 0.466215 ton-long
