Units of Mass
[edit]What, in the British context, is a ton? Surely, it's 1.016 metric tonnes. 2A00:23C6:470D:8601:A0D8:23A6:9C52:4419 (talk) 09:22, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- A metric ton (tonne) is 1000 kg. A short (US) ton is 2000 lb, or 907.185 kg. An Imperial (British) ton is 2240 lb, or 1016.047. I discovered this by use of a wonderful new app called Google. I would recommend it to everyone. But the question is - why is anyone using short or imperial tons? All the people who knew what those were (except me) are long dead. 2A00:23C6:4702:CF01:803F:777B:BDD5:539D (talk) 11:59, 5 August 2025 (UTC)
Fake Reference
[edit]Note 34 justifies start and finish dates for "BPCM". The website referenced in note 34 gives neither of these dates, which appear to have been invented. BPCM built and commissioned the plant in 1929, and ceased to exist in 1965. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:470D:8601:3CAD:989D:E15F:32F7 (talk) 07:58, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
