per short ton

Cost per massexact by definition

Cost per short ton of exactly 2000 pounds, or 907.18474 kilograms. It is the North American commodity unit for bulk chemicals, aggregate, salt, steel scrap and freight. The conversion is exact, since the pound is exactly 0.45359237 kilograms and only the mass is converted.

Watch out: Three different tons are in use. The short ton is 2000 lb, the metric tonne is 1000 kg or about 2205 lb, and the long or imperial ton is 2240 lb. A price per tonne is about 10 percent higher than the same price per short ton, which is enough to matter on a bulk contract.
