What is a ton (assay) (UK)?

It is a traditional UK unit of mass used in assaying ores or metals, distinct from other ton units and applied mainly in analytical and commercial calculations.

Why convert from ton (assay) (UK) to assarion (Biblical Roman)?

Such conversions assist in interpreting historical, archaeological, or Biblical texts that reference ancient weights, supporting scholarly comparisons.

Are the conversion results exact and precise?

No, since the assarion varied historically and is not standardized, conversions are approximate and meant for contextual use.

Examples

2 Ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] equals approximately 271.52 Assarions (Biblical Roman).
0.5 Ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] converts to about 67.88 Assarions (Biblical Roman).

Common Use Cases

Reporting assay results of gold or silver quantities per assay ton in lab certificates.
Calculating values of ore and concentrate shipments for commercial pricing.
Interpreting and converting ancient weight measurements in archaeological and historical research.
Scholarly comparison of modern assay data with ancient mass units in Biblical and numismatic studies.
Providing context in translations and commentaries of classical texts mentioning weights.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the distinct purposes and scales of modern assay tons versus ancient units before converting.
Use the conversion primarily for contextual or academic interpretations rather than precision measurements.
Consult historical sources or scholarly works to better appreciate the variability of the assarion's magnitude.
Verify assay ton definitions to ensure correct usage within industrial or laboratory contexts.
Apply conversions thoughtfully when reconciling historical records involving different measurement systems.

Limitations

The assarion is a non-standardized ancient unit with varying historical magnitude, leading to approximate conversions.
This conversion is intended for scholarly and contextual understanding, not precise modern measurement.
Differences in scale and purpose between modern assay tons and the assarion mean conversion results should be interpreted with caution.
