What types of ounces does this converter support?

This tool considers the avoirdupois ounce commonly used for general measurements and acknowledges the troy ounce variant used for precious metals, though the conversion formula is based on the avoirdupois ounce.

Why convert ounces to long tons (UK)?

Converting to long tons is useful for interpreting historical UK maritime shipping data, bulk commodity trades, and legacy engineering records that still reference imperial units.

Is the long ton still used today?

The long ton is mostly historical and less common in contemporary measurements, but it remains important for converting older documents and in specific industries referencing traditional British imperial units.
