A short ton is 2,000 pounds, almost always referred to simply as "a ton". A long ton was 2,200 pounds. I don't think I have ever seen a reference to "long tons" of anything, though it probably has a use in some area.AnswerThe 'short ton' (2000 pounds) is used in the United States. The 'long ton' (2240 pounds) is used in Britain and in countries in the British sphere of influence. A 'tonne' (spoken as 'metric ton') is 1000 kg, and very close to a long ton.
