How to convert ounces to us tons (short)
1 ounce is equal to 0.00003125 us ton (short):
1 oz = (28.349523125 g ÷ 907184.74 g) ust = 0.00003125 ust
Each ounce is defined as 28.349523125 g and each us ton (short) as 907184.74 g, so one oz equals 28.349523125 ÷ 907184.74 ust = 0.00003125 ust.
Let w(oz) be the numeric value of the same mass measured in Ounce (oz), and w(ust) the value in US Ton (Short) (ust). Then:
w(ust) = w(oz) × (28.349523125 / 907184.74)
Equivalently, divide by how many oz fit into one ust (grams per ust divided by grams per oz):
w(ust) = w(oz) ÷ 32000
Or: us ton (short) = ounce ÷ 32000
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 oz to us ton (short)
20 oz = 20 oz × (28.349523125/907184.74) ust = 0.000625 ust
20 oz = 20 oz ÷ 32000 = 0.000625 ust
Example #2: Convert 50 oz to us ton (short)
50 oz = 50 oz × (28.349523125/907184.74) ust = 0.0015625 ust
50 oz = 50 oz ÷ 32000 = 0.0015625 ust
Summary
To convert Ounce to US Ton (Short), multiply the value in oz by the ratio of grams per oz divided by grams per ust. Equivalently: value_ust = value_oz × (28.349523125 / 907184.74). Numerically, 1 oz equals 0.00003125 ust.
