What is a double ton?
Thread Content
One of our subsidiaries that deals in soda ash uses the unit concept of “double tons”. I wonder if anyone has heard of this term before – what does it mean? ?
What’s going on? Has no one ever seen this unit before?
Tonne is a unit of *inertia; it doesn’t seem to be a unit name, does it?
A tonne is the same as a ton; it is a unit of measurement. Look at the example below. By the end of July, Shuanghuan Technology’s ex-plant price for soda ash was 1,750 yuan per ton, while that for ammonium chloride was 900 yuan per ton. The ex-plant price for two tons together, including taxes, was 2,650 yuan per ton; its cost, including taxes, was approximately 1,650 yuan per ton. In other words, the profit per two-ton batch of soda ash was 1,000 yuan at that time. The production capacity of the soda ash plant was around 1,920 two-ton batches per day. Assuming 350 days of operation per year, the annual production volume could reach 672,000 tons. Even if there is a shutdown of Shell’s gasification unit, based on a production period of 345 days, the company’s annual capacity for producing caustic soda amounts to around 660,000 tons.
In the caustic soda industry, a \"double ton\" refers to 1 ton of soda ash plus 1 ton of ammonium chloride; that’s what one post on the forum said.
In fact, the term \"double ton\" is merely a measurement concept used in certain industries; it is by no means an official unit of measurement
I’ve learned a lot! A forum post was found (“Haichuan Chemical Forum » Ammonia Synthesis Process Technology Exchange Area » Introduction to the Concept of Double Tonnage”), which contained the following answer: “Double tonnage refers to 1 ton of soda ash plus 1 ton of ammonium chloride; chemical plants that produce soda ash and ammonium chloride can use this calculation method.” For example, the manufacturing cost for two tons refers to the cost of producing 1 ton of soda ash plus 1 ton of ammonium chloride. The dual-ton electricity consumption refers to the total electricity used to produce 1 ton of soda ash + 1 ton of ammonium chloride. ” PS: Provide the link http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=331670
Generally, in companies that produce related products, when conducting certain calculations, the sum of various tonnage figures is referred to as double tons.
So that’s how it is: lol :lol :lol
A double ton refers to products produced together, meaning one ton of the main product and one ton of the by-product, as a combined concept.
