To convert ounces to imperial tons, use the avoirdupois ounce (oz), which measures weight. Don’t mix it with a fluid ounce, which measures volume.
Key fact: 1 imperial ton = 2,240 pounds = 35,840 ounces
imperial tons = ounces ÷ 35,840
ounces = imperial tons × 35,840
Example:
For clean results, round to the decimal places you need (often 2 to 4).
There are 35,840 ounces (oz) in 1 imperial ton (long ton).
This comes from 1 imperial ton = 2,240 pounds and 1 pound = 16 ounces.
Use this simple formula:
imperial tons = ounces ÷ 35,840
If you need the reverse conversion:
ounces = imperial tons × 35,840
Example: 71,680 oz ÷ 35,840 = 2 imperial tons
An imperial ton (also called a long ton) equals 2,240 pounds.
A US ton (also called a short ton) equals 2,000 pounds.
That means 1 imperial ton = 2,240 lb = 35,840 oz, while 1 US ton = 2,000 lb = 32,000 oz.
No. A metric ton (tonne) equals 1,000 kilograms.
An imperial ton equals 2,240 pounds, which is about 1,016.05 kg.
So, 1 imperial ton is slightly heavier than 1 metric ton.
The imperial ton comes from older UK trade units. It’s based on 20 hundredweight, and each hundredweight is 112 pounds.
So, 20 × 112 = 2,240 pounds.
Yes, as long as your ounces measure mass or weight in the same system. This conversion works for everyday weights, shipping weights, and bulk goods, as long as the value is in avoirdupois ounces (the standard ounce used in the UK and US for weight).
Use the avoirdupois ounce, which is the common ounce for body weight and goods.
Don’t use troy ounces, which are used for gold and other metals.
1 ounce = 1 ÷ 35,840 imperial tons, which is:
0.0000279018 imperial tons (about 2.79 × 10⁻⁵)
This is a very small fraction, so rounding matters.
For large weights, rounding to 3 to 6 decimal places often works well.
For very small weights, use more decimal places or keep the fraction form:
A quick estimate is to remember:
This is not exact, but it can help with mental math. For accurate results, use 35,840 oz per imperial ton.
No. The weight stays the same. Only the unit changes.
Ounces and imperial tons measure the same thing at different scales.
