The UK long ton (symbol L/T, also "imperial ton" or "gross ton") equals 2,240 avoirdupois pounds or 1,016.0469088 kilograms. Used in Britain for coal and shipping, it is slightly larger than both the US short ton (2,000 lb) and the metric ton (1,000 kg). Britain adopted metric units in 1965 and the long ton is no longer used in new UK trade contracts, though it appears in historical records.
The tola is a traditional unit of mass used across the Indian subcontinent for precious metals and spices. One tola is exactly 11.6638 grams (internationally standardised). In the Indian system: 1 tola = 12 masha = 96 ratti. It remains the standard gold-trading unit quoted by jewellers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and across Gulf markets that serve South Asian buyers.
The long ton traces to medieval England, where a "wine tun" was a large barrel of ~252 gallons. A standard ship's cargo unit ("ton burden") evolved into a 2,240-pound standard because 2,240 lb = 20 hundredweight (each of 112 lb) — convenient for counting by the hundredweight. The Coal Industry Act 1831 formalised the long ton for coal. British Overseas Territories and some US steel industry sectors still use it.
Interesting fact: HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar (1805), was rated at 2,162 long tons displacement. Modern international shipping uses metric tons (deadweight tonnage), but engineers working with pre-1965 British specifications regularly need long ton conversions.
The tola derives from Sanskrit tola, from tul (to weigh, to balance). It was the official precious-metal unit under British India, defined as the mass of the silver rupee coin (~11.66 g). Indian rupees were minted to exactly 1 tola weight. After independence, India officially adopted the metric system in 1956 for gold trading, but the tola survived in the market. The UAE, a major gold trading hub, still quotes prices per tola.
Interesting fact: India is one of the world's largest gold consumers. A tola bar of 24-karat gold (≈11.66 g, worth ~$700 at 2024 gold prices) is one of the most popular physical gold investment formats in South Asia.
