A ton is a unit of measure that is used to describe the weight or mass of objects. The term "ton" can be used to describe both larger, heavier objects as well as smaller, lighter ones. One ton is equal to 2,000 pounds in the United States and 2,240 pounds in Britain.

How do BTU and Tons compare?

BTU and tons are two common terms that are frequently heard in the heating and cooling industries. While these two measures are often used interchangeably, there is actually a difference between them.

BTU is short for British Thermal Unit, a unit of measurement for thermal energy. This term is used to describe the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at sea level. For example, if you wanted to calculate how much heat was required to warm up your home on a cold day, you would have to look up the number of BTUs needed for your specific home.

On the other hand, ton is a unit of measurement for mass, which is often used to describe the amount of weight that an object weighs. This term is most commonly used when referring to refrigeration units and air conditioning units. For example, if you wanted to calculate how much refrigerant was needed for your home’s air conditioning system, you would have to look up the number of tons that were required.
