Avoirdupois measure 1 gross ton = 1 long ton = 2240 pounds
1 net ton = 1 short ton = 2000 pounds
1 pound = 16 ounces = 7000 grains
1 ounce = 16 drachms = 437.5 grains

1 long ton = 20 hundredweight
1 hundredweight = 4 quarters = 112 pounds
1 quarter = 2 stone = 28 pounds

Standard measure 1 tonne = 1 metric ton
1 tonne = 1000 kilograms
1 kilograms = 1000 grams
