QUÉ SIGNIFICA TON EN INGLÉS

Tonelada

Ton

La tonelada es una unidad de medida. Tiene una larga historia y ha adquirido una serie de significados y usos a lo largo de los años. Se utiliza principalmente como una unidad de masa, y como una unidad de volumen. También puede utilizarse como una medida de energía, para la clasificación de camiones, o como un término coloquial. Se deriva del tun, el término aplicado a un barril del tamaño más grande. Esto podría contener un volumen entre 210 y 256 galones, que podría pesar alrededor de 2.000 libras y ocupar unos 60 pies cúbicos de espacio. En el Reino Unido la tonelada se define como 2,240 libras. A partir de 1965 el Reino Unido se embarcó en un programa de métrica y gradualmente introdujo unidades métricas, incluyendo la tonelada, una unidad métrica no SI definida como 1000 kg. La Ley de Pesas y Medidas del Reino Unido de 1985 excluyó explícitamente del uso para el comercio de muchas unidades y términos, incluida la tonelada y el término "tonelada métrica" ​​para "tonelada". En los Estados Unidos y antes Canadá una tonelada se define para ser 2.000 libras. Donde la confusión es posible, la tonelada de 2240 libras se llama "tonelada larga" y la "tonelada corta" de 2000 libras; La tonelada se distingue por su ortografía, pero por lo general se pronuncia igual que la tonelada, de ahí el término estadounidense "tonelada métrica".

The ton is a unit of measure. It has a long history and has acquired a number of meanings and uses over the years. It is used principally as a unit of mass, and as a unit of volume. It can also be used as a measure of energy, for truck classification, or as a colloquial term. It is derived from the tun, the term applied to a barrel of the largest size. This could contain a volume between 210 and 256 gallons, which could weigh around 2,000 pounds and occupy some 60 cubic feet of space. In the United Kingdom the ton is defined as 2,240 pounds . From 1965 the UK embarked upon a programme of metrication and gradually introduced metric units, including the tonne, a non-SI metric unit defined as 1000 kg. The UK Weights and Measures Act 1985 explicitly excluded from use for trade many units and terms, including the ton and the term "metric ton" for "tonne". In the United States and formerly Canada a ton is defined to be 2,000 pounds. Where confusion is possible, the 2240 lb ton is called "long ton" and the 2000 lb ton "short ton"; the tonne is distinguished by its spelling, but usually pronounced the same as ton, hence the US term "metric ton".

Jeff Abbott

It's not at all uncommon for a writer to get a ton of publicity for one book and then not get as much for the next one.

The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. It's unbelievable to me. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason.
