About Metric Tons
A metric ton (t), also called a tonne, equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard large mass unit in the international SI system, used worldwide for shipping, trade, agriculture, industry, and environmental monitoring. Global steel production, grain harvests, CO₂ emissions, shipping freight, and oil production are all reported in millions of metric tonnes. A standard TEU shipping container can carry up to approximately 28 metric tonnes of cargo. Carbon footprint calculators express emissions in CO₂ equivalent tonnes (tCO₂e).
About Long Hundredweights

The standard hundredweight in the United Kingdom and much of its historical trading sphere, it reflects the medieval English stone of 14 lb (8 × 14 = 112). British agricultural commodity prices, wool trade records, and livestock market reports historically used long hundredweights. The UK meat trade still occasionally references hundredweights in wholesale pricing.
