What is a long ton (UK)?

The long ton (UK), also called the Imperial ton, is an imperial mass unit equal to exactly 1,016.0469088 kilograms, or 2,240 avoirdupois pounds, historically used in the UK and maritime contexts.

Why convert long tons to neutron mass?

Converting from long tons to neutron mass helps translate large-scale macroscopic masses into fundamental particle units for precise calculations in nuclear physics and astrophysics.
