Template:TonCwt to t

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is intended to allow entry of imperial weights (Avoirdupois), measured in [long] tons and hundredweights (ton,cwt) and provide a conversion into pounds and [metric] tonnes.

The value for pounds (lb) is rounded to the nearest 100. The value for tonnes (t) is rounded to 1 decimal place.

This format is traditional for the specification of locomotives manufactured or used in the UK, and some other Commonwealth countries.

Syntax

• {{TonCwt to t | number of tons | number of cwt }}
• {{TonCwt to t | number of tons | number of cwt | lk=on }}

to link "ton(s)" to Avoirdupois#British adaptation.

Example

For example:

• Locomotive weight: {{TonCwt to t|35|4}}.

gives: "Locomotive weight: 35 tons 4 cwt (78,800 lb or 35.7 t)."

• Locomotive weight: {{TonCwt to t|35|4|lk=on}}.

gives: "Locomotive weight: 35 tons 4 cwt (78,800 lb or 35.7 t)."
