Will just have to find out in Tons .. 2240 lbs to 1 ton is it !!?.
Pete --2000 pounds per ton (avoirdupois) (US) (called Short Ton)
2240 lbs per Long Ton
Hope that helps. - cts
Hi, D6 Pete.
You'll need to figure that as 2,200 pounds per TONNE. The 'figgers' that cts has given are for the American 'short-changed' short ton and the old imperial long ton.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
