What are Ton-short and Dalton

Definition of Ton-short

A ton-short, commonly known as a short ton, is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds. Predominantly used in the United States, it is equivalent to 907.18474 kilograms. Different from the long ton, which is used primarily in the United Kingdom and is 2,240 pounds, the ton-short provides a standardized measurement for heavy goods and materials in industries such as shipping and construction.

Definition of Dalton

A dalton, also known as a unified atomic mass unit (u or Da), is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. It is defined as one-twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state. One dalton is approximately equal to 1.66053906660x10^-27 kilograms. It is a fundamental component in the field of chemistry and physics for calculating the mass of atoms and molecules.
