About US Ton (Short)
The US short ton is 2,000 pounds avoirdupois (exactly 907.18474 kg in the international avoirdupois pound definition). Common in US freight and industry.

How to convert us tons (short) to grains
1 us ton (short) is equal to 1.40000000e+7 grain:
1 ust = (907184.74 g ÷ 0.06479891 g) gr = 1.40000000e+7 gr
Each us ton (short) is defined as 907184.74 g and each grain as 0.06479891 g, so one ust equals 907184.74 ÷ 0.06479891 gr = 1.40000000e+7 gr.
Let w(ust) be the numeric value of the same mass measured in US Ton (Short) (ust), and w(gr) the value in Grain (gr). Then:
w(gr) = w(ust) × (907184.74 / 0.06479891)
Equivalently, divide by how many ust fit into one gr (grams per gr divided by grams per ust):
w(gr) = w(ust) ÷ 7.14285714e-8
Or: grain = us ton (short) ÷ 7.14285714e-8
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 ust to grain
20 ust = 20 ust × (907184.74/0.06479891) gr = 280000000 gr
20 ust = 20 ust ÷ 7.14285714e-8 = 280000000 gr
Example #2: Convert 50 ust to grain
50 ust = 50 ust × (907184.74/0.06479891) gr = 700000000 gr
50 ust = 50 ust ÷ 7.14285714e-8 = 700000000 gr
Summary
To convert US Ton (Short) to Grain, multiply the value in ust by the ratio of grams per ust divided by grams per gr. Equivalently: value_gr = value_ust × (907184.74 / 0.06479891). Numerically, 1 ust equals 14000000 gr.
Relationship context
You are converting between US customary (short ton) (US Tons (Short)) and imperial / UK (stone, long ton, pound, ounce) (Grains). Metric mass is decimal from the gram; US and imperial masses use pounds and ounces with fixed definitions relative to the kilogram. The numeric factor used here is 1.400000e+7.
