I figured out in converting material from pound to kg for quoting purposes we must use avdp. 1 avdp pound = 2.20462 kg and this is accepted by OEMs as the conversion. I double checked that to 1 short ton = 2000 avdp pounds whereas 1 short ton = 2430.556 troy pounds.

Use troy pounds when measuring precious metals like gold and silver, as the troy pound is commonly used in the world of bullion. Use avoirdupois (avdp) pounds for everyday weights and measures, such as in cooking recipes or for general goods and produce.
