Template:Long ton - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

This template is intended to allow entry of imperial weights (Avoirdupois), measured in tons, hundredweights, quarters and/or pounds (ton, cwt, qr and/or lb) and provide a conversion into pounds and into tonnes (metric tons) or kilograms (if the first parameter is blank or zero).

This format is traditional for the specification of locomotive and bells cast manufactured or used in the UK and some other Commonwealth countries. See Dove's Bellringers' Guide.

Syntax

35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr 1 lb (78,905 lb or 35.791 t)
To link the "long" unit to article Long ton use |lk=on:
35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr 1 lb (78,905 lb or 35.791 t)

Only the second parameter, the number of cwt, is required; all the others are optional. Note that the first parameter must be empty then.

100 long cwt (11,200 lb or 5,100 kg)
100 long cwt (11,200 lb or 5,100 kg)
Unit names or symbols

There is no option to write full names of the units. The units are written: long ton[s], [long] cwt, qr, lb. (Where {{convert}} has |abbr=off/on).

Rounding

Rounding depends on input.

Display

Inside grammatical brackets, use disp=or or disp=sqbr:

A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor {{long ton||18|1|2|disp=or}})

gives: "A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor 18 long cwt 1 qr 2 lb; 2,046 lb or 928 kg)"

A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor {{long ton||18|1|2|disp=sqbr}})

gives: "A replacement ring of ten bells (tenor 18 long cwt 1 qr 2 lb [2,046 lb or 928 kg])"

In tables

Use disp=table in tables.

References and footnotes

Use ref= to add a reference or footnote.

{{long ton|3|18|1|2|ref=<ref>some source</ref>}}

gives: "3 long tons 18 cwt 1 qr 2 lb[1] (8,766 lb or 3.976 t)"

Examples

For example:

gives: "Locomotive weight: 35 long tons 4 cwt (78,800 lb or 35.8 t)."
gives: "Locomotive weight: 35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr (78,900 lb or 35.79 t)."
gives: "Locomotive weight: 35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr (78,900 lb or 35.79 t)."
gives: "Locomotive weight: 35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr (78,900 lb or 35.79 t)."
gives: "Locomotive weight: 35 long tons 4 cwt 2 qr (78,900 lb or 35.79 t)."
gives: "The old tenor weighed 21 long cwt 2 qr 12 lb (2,420 lb or 1,098 kg)."
gives: "The recast tenor now weighs 20 long cwt 3 qr 7 lb (2,331 lb or 1,057 kg)."
