Convert microgram to ton (long)
Please provide values below to convert microgram [µg] to ton (long) [ton (UK)], or Convert ton (long) to microgram.
1 µg = 9.8421e-13 ton (UK). To convert microgram to ton (long), multiply the value by 9.8421e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ton (UK) = 1.0160e+12 µg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µg = 9.8421e-13 ton (UK)
- 1 ton (UK) = 1.0160e+12 µg
- 10 µg = 9.8421e-12 ton (UK)
- 100 µg = 9.8421e-11 ton (UK)

Microgram
A microgram (µg) is a unit of mass equal to one millionth of a gram (10^-6 grams).
History/Origin
The microgram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure very small quantities, particularly in science and medicine, and has been widely used since the 20th century.
Current Use
Micrograms are commonly used today in fields such as pharmacology, nutrition, and chemistry to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
Ton (Long)
A long ton, also known as the imperial ton or UK ton, is a unit of weight equal to 2,240 pounds or 1,016.0469 kilograms.
History/Origin
The long ton originated in the United Kingdom as a standard measurement for large quantities of goods and materials, particularly in shipping and trade, during the 19th century. It was used alongside other imperial units before the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
Today, the long ton is primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries for measuring large quantities of freight, cargo, and in certain industrial contexts. It is less common internationally, having been largely replaced by the metric ton (tonne).
