It depends upon which nation you live in.

Standard unit of measurement for bulk product in the US is the short ton or 2000 lbs. Not sure how far back it goes but easily 100 years. Try explaining this to your customer when asked this question.

When I was burning Blaschak Coal it came in 1.2 tons per pallet 60 bags of 40 pounds each,
All the others I have tried from Kimmel, Reading and my personal favorite Lehigh have all come 1 ton per pallet,
or 50 bags of 40 pounds each.
