<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

=== Usage ===
This template is intended to allow entry of imperial weights ([[Avoirdupois#British adaptation|Avoirdupois]]), measured in [long] tons and hundredweights (ton,cwt) and provide a conversion into pounds and [metric] tonnes.

The value for pounds (lb) is rounded to the nearest 100. The value for tonnes (t) is rounded to 1 decimal place.

This format is traditional for the specification of locomotives manufactured or used in the UK, and some other Commonweath countries.

===Syntax===
*<nowiki>{{TonCwt to t  |  number of tons  |  number of cwt }}</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{TonCwt to t  |  number of tons  |  number of cwt | lk=on }}</nowiki> 
::to link "ton(s)" to ''[[Avoirdupois#British adaptation]]''.

===Example===
For example:  
*<code>Locomotive weight: <nowiki>{{TonCwt to t|35|4}}</nowiki>.</code>
::gives:  "Locomotive weight: {{TonCwt to t|35|4}}."

*<code>Locomotive weight: <nowiki>{{TonCwt to t|35|4|lk=on}}</nowiki>.</code>
::gives:  "Locomotive weight: {{TonCwt to t|35|4|lk=on}}."
