Nanogram [ng]

The nanogram is a metric unit of mass equal to one-billionth of a gram.

• 
  

  1 nanogram = 0.000000001 grams = 10⁻⁹ grams

  
  
• 
  

  1 nanogram = 10⁻¹² kilograms

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: ng

  
  

Key Facts:

• 
  

  Used in fields like biochemistry, pharmacology, and environmental science to measure extremely small masses (e.g., toxins, DNA quantities)

  
  
• 
  

  The prefix "nano-" means $10^{-9}$ (one billionth)

  
  
• 
  

  Smaller than micrograms and widely used for precision measurements at molecular scales

  
  

The nanogram allows scientists to quantify minute amounts of substances with great accuracy.

Ton (Long) [ton (UK)]

The long ton, also known as the imperial ton or British ton, is a unit of mass traditionally used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries.

• 
  

  1 long ton = 2,240 pounds

  
  
• 
  

  1 long ton ≈ 1,016.0469 kilograms

  
  
•

• 
  

  Heavier than the short ton (US, 2,000 lb)

  
  
• 
  

  Slightly heavier than the metric ton (1,000 kg)

  
  

Though largely replaced by the metric ton in most official UK uses, the long ton is still referenced in certain industries and historical contexts.
