How to convert tons to ounces
ounces = tons × 32,000
Example: 3 tons × 32,000 = 96,000 oz.
Multiply the tons by 32,000. That factor is exact, because both steps behind it are fixed by definition: a US ton is 2,000 pounds, and a pound is 16 ounces.
Fractions of a ton turn into round numbers. A quarter ton is 8,000 ounces, and 1.5 tons is 48,000 ounces.
For the reverse, divide by the same factor, or use the ounces to tons chart. A British long ton or a metric tonne needs its own factor, shown in the answers below.
How many packages can you fill from a ton?
Divide the ounces in the load by the size of one package. A US ton of dry beans fills 3,200 bags of 10 oz, or 1,600 bags of 20 oz.
When the division leaves a remainder, round down, because a part-filled bag cannot be sold. A ton of coffee packed in 12 oz bags gives 2,666.67, so the last bag comes up short.
Is a ton of liquid 32,000 fluid ounces?
No. The ounces on this page measure weight, while a fluid ounce measures space. A US ton of water fills about 30,676 US fluid ounces, or 907 liters (litres).
Other liquids give other counts. A liquid denser than water fills fewer fluid ounces per ton, and a lighter one fills more. The ounce unit page explains how the two kinds of ounce differ.
Tons and ounces: questions
How much exactly is 1 ton?
A US ton is exactly 2,000 pounds, which works out to 907.18474 kilograms with no rounding. The British long ton is 2,240 pounds, and the metric tonne is 1,000 kilograms. All three are defined in NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C.
Does 16 oz make 1 lb?
Yes, by weight. 16 ounces make a pound, and that is the ounce this converter uses. Two look-alikes break the rule: 16 fl oz is a volume, so its weight depends on the liquid, and gold and silver use troy ounces, which run 14.58 to the pound.
How many ounces of gold are in a ton?
About 29,167 troy ounces in a US ton, or 32,151 in a metric tonne. Gold is weighed in troy ounces of 31.1 g, heavier than the 28.35 g ounce on a kitchen scale, so fewer of them fit. In assaying, the phrase means troy ounces of gold per short ton of ore (NIST, assay ton).
How many ounces are in a UK ton?
The long ton, the old British ton, holds 35,840 ounces. It is 2,240 pounds rather than 2,000, and each of those pounds holds 16 ounces. A metric tonne holds 35,274 ounces, so check which ton a document means before you multiply.
