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 Commonweath 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 (35.7 t)*)."
Locomotive weight: {{TonCwt to t|35|4|lk=on}}.
