About Long Tons
A long ton (UK ton, displacement ton) equals 2,240 pounds or exactly 1,016.0469088 kg. The standard ton in the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries, it equals 20 long hundredweights of 112 lb each. Naval architecture and ship displacement are specified in long tons: the displacement of a warship or cargo vessel is the weight of water it displaces, expressed in long tons. The Titanic had a displacement of approximately 52,310 long tons. British agricultural, mining, and coal trade statistics from the 18th through mid-20th centuries used long tons exclusively.
About Nanograms
A nanogram (ng) is one billionth of a gram (10⁻⁹ g). This is the standard mass unit in analytical chemistry, pharmacology, and toxicology for detecting trace substances. Blood plasma concentrations of hormones, drugs, and environmental contaminants are routinely reported in nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). A typical therapeutic blood level for many medications is in the range of 10-500 ng/mL. In forensic science, nanogram-level DNA quantities can be amplified by PCR to yield a full genetic profile.
