Conversion factors

one foot = 3.2808 meters


one cubic meter = (3.2808 feet)^3 = 35.313 cubic feet
one long ton = 2,240 pounds
one metric ton = 2,204.62 pounds
one long ton = 2240/2204.62 metric tons = 1.016 metric tons
The conversion factor from cubic meters per metric ton to cubic feet by long ton is simple
(Cubic meters/ metric ton)(35.313 cubic feet / cubic meter)(1.016 metric tons/ long ton) = 35.878
So just multiply the metric stowage factor by 35.878 to get a stowage factor in cubic feet per long ton!
