What is a quarter (US) in weight?

A quarter (US) is a US customary unit of mass equal to one quarter of a US hundredweight, or 25 pounds (approximately 11.3398 kilograms).

How is the ton (assay) (UK) used?

The UK assay ton is used primarily in assaying to quantify ore or metal amounts for analytical and commercial purposes, distinct from other ton units.

Can I use this converter for other ton units?

No, this converter specifically handles conversions between quarter (US) and ton (assay) (UK); other ton units require different tools.
