This converter allows you to convert metric tons [t] to long tons [tn.l.] or long tons [tn.l.] to metric tons [t]. Calculations are performed in both directions. The calculation result and the entered value are displayed with up to 20 decimal places for maximum accuracy.

1 metric ton [t] ≈ 0.9842 long tons [tn.l.]1 long ton [tn.l.] ≈ 1.016 metric tons [t]

Convert metric tons to long tons

There are two simple ways to convert metric tons [t] to long tons [tn.l.]. In the first calculation method, the value in metric tons [t] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 1.016. The second method multiplies the value in metric tons [t] by the rounded conversion factor of 0.9842.

  • Long tons [tn.l.] ≈ metric tons [t] ÷ 1.016
  • Long tons [tn.l.] ≈ metric tons [t] * 0.9842

However, rounded conversion values are only suitable for rough conversions, as rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of metric tons [t] to long tons [tn.l.] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Long tons [tn.l.] = metric tons [t] ÷ 971.68 ÷ 1,045.66 * 106

Convert long tons to metric tons

Converting long tons [tn.l.] to metric tons [t] is easy and can be done in two ways. The first method involves multiplication, in which the value in long tons [tn.l.] is multiplied by the rounded conversion factor of 1.016. The second variant is a division. Here, the value in long tons [tn.l.] is divided by the rounded conversion factor of 0.9842.

  • Metric tons [t] ≈ long tons [tn.l.] * 1.016
  • Metric tons [t] ≈ long tons [tn.l.] ÷ 0.9842

However, rounded conversion values do not allow for exact calculations because rounding errors can occur in the calculation result. The most accurate conversion of long tons [tn.l.] to metric tons [t] can be achieved using the following calculation method.

  • Metric tons [t] = long tons [tn.l.] * 971.68 * 1,045.66 ÷ 106

Capacitance

Capacitors usually have values significantly smaller than one farad, which is why capacitance values with SI prefixes are particularly common. The capacitance converter is ideal for converting between different units of electrical capacitance.
