About these units
UK Ton (Long) (ton (UK))
The British long ton equals 2,240 pounds (1,016.0469088 kilograms). Historically used throughout the British Empire, it appears frequently in naval records, early engineering documents, and historical trade ledgers. The long ton's relation to the imperial hundredweight (112 pounds × 20) makes sense within the structure of older English measurement systems. Although replaced by metric tons in the UK, it persists in maritime contexts and in interpreting historical documents. Its presence captures the complexity of pre-metric trade and the need for careful interpretation when comparing international tonnage systems.
Teragram (Tg)
A teragram equals 1,000 gigagrams, or 10⁹ kilograms. It is widely used in climatology, atmospheric science, and ecology to describe the mass of carbon, nitrogen, methane, or other substances exchanged annually between Earth's systems. For example, global carbon fluxes—movement of carbon between oceans, atmosphere, and biosphere—are typically measured in teragrams. Volcanoes, wildfires, and anthropogenic emissions often release substances on this scale. Tg-level measurements give researchers insight into the stability, sustainability, and long-term trends of Earth's ecosystems.
