What is the short ton (ton US)?

It is a unit of mass used mainly in the U.S., defined exactly as 2,000 avoirdupois pounds, differing from both the long ton and metric tonne.

Why convert from ton (short) to neutron mass?

This conversion links large industrial mass units to the atomic scale, supporting scientific fields like nuclear physics and astrophysics.

Is this conversion practical for everyday use?

No, due to the massive magnitude of the conversion factor, this tool is tailored for specialized scientific applications.
