A teragram (Tg) is a metric mass unit equal to 10^12 grams, or one million metric tonnes, used for very large masses.

What is a long ton (UK)?

The long ton, also known as the Imperial ton, is an imperial mass unit equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016.0469 kilograms.

Why convert from teragrams to long tons?

Converting from teragrams to long tons helps translate large metric mass quantities into legacy imperial units used in historical shipping, bulk trade, and legacy documents.
