What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform weight values from stone (US), a traditional British unit of mass, to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)], a historical mining mass unit used for reporting precious-metal content.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the weight value in stone (US) you want to convert
-
Select stone (US) as the input unit and ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)] as the output unit
-
Click convert to view the equivalent weight in ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]
-
Use the results to assist with mining, assaying, or historical weight analysis
Key Features
-
Converts stone (US) to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)] accurately using standardized rates
-
Supports weight and mass measurement category
-
Ideal for historical, mining, and assaying applications
-
Browser-based and easy to operate without needing additional software
Examples
-
2 Stone (US) converts to 388.7934155664 Ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]
-
0.5 Stone (US) converts to 97.1983538916 Ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]
Common Use Cases
-
Translating traditional weight units into assay ton units for precious metal content reporting
-
Handling historical/commodity weights when working with mining and metallurgy data
-
Converting older imperial mass records to units used in ore valuation and resource estimation
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the context and jurisdiction when using assay ton units due to their historical variations
-
Use this tool for approximate conversions in mining and assay-related workflows
-
Combine with other modern units for comprehensive metal content and weight analysis
Limitations
-
The assay ton (US) has no fixed exact mass universally, requiring caution for legal or scientific precision
-
Stone (US) usage is rare in the United States, limiting direct applicability in some cases
-
Contextual understanding is essential when interpreting conversion results for contractual or official purposes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the stone (US) unit?
-
The stone (US) is a traditional British mass unit equal to 14 avoirdupois pounds, mainly used historically for body and commodity weights.
-
What does the ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)] represent?
-
It is a historical mining mass unit used for defining sample weights in precious-metal assays, with variations depending on jurisdiction.
-
Why is this conversion important?
-
It helps translate old or traditional weight units into assay ton units, which are critical for mining, metallurgy, and assay reporting.
Key Terminology
-
Stone (US)
-
A traditional British unit of mass equal to 14 avoirdupois pounds, used historically in the UK and Ireland for body and commodity weights.
-
Ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]
-
A historical mining mass unit used for assay samples of precious metals, with mass values that vary by location and historical practice.
-
Assay
-
The process of analyzing the content and concentration of precious metals in ore or metal samples.
