What is a ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]?

It is a traditional unit of mass used in assaying to quantify ore or metal amounts for analysis and commercial calculations, distinct from other ton units.

Why convert assay tons to daltons?

This conversion allows integration of industrial assay measurements with atomic and molecular masses used in scientific research.

Is the dalton suitable for measuring large industrial masses?

No, daltons are primarily atomic mass units used in sciences and are not practical for large-scale industrial mass measurements.

Enter the quantity in ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] you want to convert.
Select the target unit as dalton.
Click convert to obtain the equivalent atomic mass unit value.

Key Features

Converts ton (assay) (UK) to dalton using a defined conversion rate.
Supports industry-specific mass measurement translation for mining, metallurgy, and scientific research.
Browser-based and simple to use without requiring installation.

Examples

1 Ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] equals approximately 1.96724339016 × 10²⁴ daltons.
0.5 Ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] equals approximately 9.8362169508 × 10²³ daltons.

Common Use Cases

Reporting gold or silver content per assay ton in laboratory certificates.
Calculating payable metal amounts and prices for ore shipments based on assay data.
Interpreting and converting historical assay records for resource estimation.
Expressing molecular masses in chemistry, biochemistry, and polymer science.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify assay ton definitions for accuracy when converting historical data.
Use the tool primarily for scientific interpretation rather than direct industrial mass measurement.
Be mindful of large numerical values due to vast scale differences between units.

Limitations

The large conversion factor can produce very large numbers that are difficult to handle.
Precision depends on the significant digits and assumptions in defining the assay ton.
Daltons are not commonly used for industrial mass measurement but serve mainly for scientific analysis.
