One common such material is water, used in multiple units. For the cubic ton, the situation is more complex—there are different cubic tons for different materials. The 1964 Reader's Digest Great Encyclopaedic Dictionary gave the following ton-derived volumes: Timber, 40 cubic feet or 480.0 bd ft or 1.133 m 3; Stone, 16 cubic feet (0.453 m 3)
The cubic inch, cubic foot and cubic yard are commonly used for measuring volume. In addition, there is one group of units for measuring volumes of liquids (based on the wine gallon and subdivisions of the fluid ounce), and one for measuring volumes of dry material, each with their own names and sub-units.
For practical purposes the displacement ton (DT) is a unit of volume, 35 cubic feet (0.9911 m 3), the approximate volume occupied by one ton of seawater (the actual volume varies with salinity and temperature). [16] It is slightly less than the 224 imperial gallons (1.018 m 3) of the water ton (based on distilled water).
A cubic yard (symbol yd 3) [1] is an Imperial / U.S. customary (non-SI non-metric) unit of volume, used in Canada and the United States. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 1 yard (3 feet , 36 inches , 0.9144 meters ) in length .
A cubic ton is an antiquated measure of volume, varying based on the commodity from about 16 to 45 cu ft (0.45 to 1.27 m 3). It is now only used for lumber, for which one cubic ton is equivalent to 40 cu ft (1.1 m 3).
A long ton, also called the weight ton (W/T), [1] imperial ton, or displacement ton, is equal to: 2,240 pounds (1,016.0 kilograms; 1.0160 metric tons) exactly 12% more than the 2,000 pounds of the North American short ton , being 20 long hundredweight (112 lb) rather than 20 short hundredweight (100 lb)
The tonne (/ t ʌ n / ⓘ or / t ɒ n /; symbol: t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms.It is a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI.It is also referred to as a metric ton in the United States to distinguish it from the non-metric units of the short ton (United States customary units) and the long ton (British imperial units).
