Need to clarify three tons - long ton, metric tonand short ton Avoirdupois unit of weight used in Britain, called long ton to distinguish it from short ton. 1 long ton is equal to 20 hundredweight (long) or 2240 pound. Unit of mass in metric system, also called tonne (symbol t). 1 metric ton is equal to 1000 kilogram.

Short Answer is - alleles.
A short ton, known in the United States simply as the "ton", is equal to 2,000 pounds (907.18 kilograms). The SI unit of measurement, the metric ton, or tonne, is 1,000 kilograms(2,204.62 pounds). The metric ton was introduced in 1960 to standardize measurements. Since the introduction of the metric system, the short ton is rarely used outside of the United States.
1 metric ton is 1.1 short tons.
The short answer is 'no'. The metric system was invented and came came into use in the time of Napoleon in France, around 1800AD, and wasn't fully accepted until late in the nineteenth century. In Britain we still are trying hard to resist it!
