Example:
Convert 20 Ton to Ton?
We know 1 Ton = 1.0160469 ton; 1 Ton = 0.9842065 ton.
20 ton = ___t
20 × 1.0160469 = 20.32094 t (we know 1 ton = 1.0160469 ton)
Answer:
20 ton = 20.32094 ton
How to Convert Long Tons to Metric Tons (Step-by-Step)
One long ton equals approximately 1.01605 metric tons. Since a long ton (1,016.05 kg) is only slightly heavier than a metric ton (1,000 kg), the conversion factor is very close to 1.
- Identify the weight in long tons you want to convert.
- Multiply by 1.01605 to get the value in metric tons.
- For rough estimates, long tons ≈ metric tons (within 1.6%).

Solved Examples: Long Tons to Metric Tons
Question 1: A naval vessel displaces 35,000 long tons. Express in metric tons.
Solution:
Displacement in metric tons = 35,000 × 1.01605
= 35,561.75 metric tons
Answer: 35,000 long tons = 35,561.75 metric tons.
Question 2: Convert 250 long tons of imported steel to metric tons.
Solution:
Weight in metric tons = 250 × 1.01605
= 254.01 metric tons
Answer: 250 long tons = 254.01 metric tons.
Question 3: A historical record lists 2,500 long tons. What is this in metric tons?
Solution:
Weight in metric tons = 2,500 × 1.01605
= 2,540.12 metric tons
Answer: 2,500 long tons = 2,540.12 metric tons.

Naval Displacement: Historical vs Modern Units
Historical naval registers (Bismarck: 50,300 long tons, HMS Hood: 47,430 long tons) used long tons for displacement. Modern navies use metric tons. When comparing historical and modern warships, multiply long ton displacement by 1.016 to get metric tons. The difference is small but matters for accurate historical research and tonnage comparisons across eras.
Simplifying the Conversion in Practice
Because the long ton and metric ton differ by only 1.6%, many industries treat them as approximately equal for rough calculations. A cargo manifest in long tons can be read as "approximately the same in metric tons." However, for contracts and customs documentation, the precise 1.01605 factor must be used — on a 10,000-ton shipment, the 1.6% difference equals 160 metric tons.
Key Takeaways
- 1 long ton = 1.01605 metric tons.
- The difference between long tons and metric tons is only 1.6%.
- For rough estimates, long tons ≈ metric tons.
- For precise contracts, always apply the 1.016 factor.
- Historical naval displacement in long tons × 1.016 = metric tons.
- On 10,000 tons, the 1.6% difference = 160 metric tons (not trivial for trade).
Ton to Ton Conversion Formula
ton = ton × 1.0160469
1 ton = 1.0160469 ton
1 ton = 0.9842065 ton
