What is a decigram used for?

A decigram is an SI-derived unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram, often used to weigh small laboratory samples, food ingredients, or tiny craft components requiring sub-gram resolution.

How is the UK assay ton different from other tons?

The UK assay ton is a traditional, industry-specific unit used in metal assaying, distinct from the long ton, short ton, and metric tonne, and primarily applied in mining assays and related commercial calculations.

When should I convert decigrams to UK assay tons?

This conversion is important when you need to translate precise laboratory mass measurements into units commonly used for reporting and pricing metal ore assays in mining and assay industries.
