Ton adalah berbagai satuan yang digunakan dalam berbagai hal, umumnya tagnsebagai satuan massa.

Satuan Massa

Ton metrik

Ton metrik (M/T), dalam bahasa Indonesia sering disebut dengan ton saja, adalah satuan massa yang sama dengan 1000 kilogram. Satu ton sama dengan sepuluh kuintal.

Ton pendek

Ton pendek (S/T), atau sering disebut dengan ton Amerika Serikat, adalah satuan massa yang kira-kira sebesar 910 kilogram (2.000 pon).^[1]

Ton panjang

Ton panjang (L/T), atau sering disebut dengan ton Britania atau ton Imperial, adalah satuan massa yang kira-kira sebesar 1.020 kilogram (2.240 pon).^[a]^[2]

Satuan Gaya

Sebagai satuan gaya:

   1 Ton-Pendek  gaya = 8896.443230521   Newton
   1 Ton-Panjang gaya = 9964.01641818352 Newton
   1 Ton         gaya = 9806.65          Newton

Satuan Volume

Sebagai satuan volume, ditulis M/T, MT atau MTON:

   1 MTON = 40 kaki kubik ( ft³ )
   1 MTON = 1.48148148148  Yard kubik ( yd³ )
   1 MTON = 1,132.67386368 Liter
   1 MTON = 1.13267386368  m³

Dalam hal ini, walaupun satuan MTON berguna. Satuan MTON tidak digunakan dalam ilmu fisika.

Satuan Energi

Ton TNT

Satuan Ton TNT biasanya digunakan untuk mengukur kekuatan atau daya ledak bom nuklir, dan juga kekuatan gempa bumi.

Sebagai contohnya: 1 Ton TNT bom nuklir, artinya: bom nuklir ini daya ledaknya/ kandungan energi-nya, sama dengan peledakan bahan peledak TNT seberat 1 Ton.

   1      Ton TNT = 10⁹  kalori = 1 Giga kalori = 4.184 Giga Joule
   1 Kilo Ton TNT = 10¹² kalori = 1 Tera kalori = 4.184 Tera Joule
   1 Mega Ton TNT = 10¹⁵ kalori = 1 Peta kalori = 4.184 Peta Joule
   
   1   gram   TNT = 1000 kalori = 1 Kilo kalori = 4.184 Kilo Joule

Ton batubara

1 Ton batubara = 29.3076 Giga Joule
1 Meter kubik batu bara = 1,3 ton

Ton minyak

1 Ton minyak = 41.868 Giga Joule ≈ 10.0067 Ton TNT

Satuan Tenaga

Dalam lemari pendingin and mesin pengatur suhu udara, 1 Ton-Pendinginan berarti:
- Tenaga yang diperlukan untuk mendinginkan 1 Ton-Pendek air, pada temperatur 1 °F, untuk setiap 10 menit-nya = 12 000 BTU/ jam ≈ 3 517 Watt
- Tenaga yang diperlukan untuk mendinginkan 1 Ton-Panjang air, pada temperatur 1 °F, untuk setiap 10 menit-nya = 13 440 BTU/ jam ≈ 3 939 Watt
