A Measurement Ton, also known as a Freight Ton or a Revenue Ton, is a unit of measurement used in the transportation industry to calculate the volume or size of cargo.. The Measurement Ton is typically based on the space occupied by one cubic meter (or one cubic foot) of cargo, allowing carriers to determine the transportation charges based on volume rather than weight.
