What is a gigagram used for?

A gigagram expresses very large masses in engineering, environmental reporting, and bulk-material accounting.

How does the UK assay ton differ from other tons?

The UK assay ton is a traditional, industry-specific mass unit used in assaying, distinct from long tons, short tons, and metric tonnes.

Why is the conversion factor between gigagrams and UK assay tons so large?

Because assay tons are very small compared to gigagrams, the conversion factor reflects this extreme difference in scale.

Examples

2 Gg equals 61224489.79592 ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]
0.5 Gg equals 15306122.44898 ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]

Common Use Cases

Reporting regional or facility greenhouse gas emissions with large mass units
Quantifying annual bulk commodity shipments or waste mass in mining
Assaying metals or ore quantities for pricing and commercial accounting
Interpreting historical assay records for resource estimation

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you are using the correct UK assay ton type distinct from other ton units
Be cautious of rounding errors due to the large conversion factor involved
Use this tool primarily for industry-specific mass conversions related to assaying
Verify conversions when comparing assay ton results with other weight measures

Limitations

The UK assay ton is a traditional unit not standardized internationally
Conversion factor shows assay tons are very small compared to gigagrams, risking potential rounding issues
This unit differs from other ton definitions, so verify unit selection to avoid errors
