What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to transform values from the UK assay ton (AT), a traditional mass unit used specifically in assaying ore and metal quantities, into grams (g), a standard SI unit of mass widely used in scientific and everyday measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the quantity in ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)].
-
Select the target unit as gram [g].
-
Click the convert button to see the result in grams.
-
Use the converted value for analysis, pricing, or record-keeping purposes.
Key Features
-
Converts ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] to gram [g] with ease.
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface.
-
Supports translation of assay data for laboratory and commercial use.
-
Provides precise conversion using a conventional rate of 1 ton (assay) (UK) = 32.6666666667 grams.
Examples
-
2 ton (assay) (UK) equals 65.3333333334 grams.
-
0.5 ton (assay) (UK) equals 16.33333333335 grams.
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting gold or silver quantities per assay ton on laboratory assay certificates.
-
Calculating payable metal and pricing in concentrate or ore shipments based on assay results.
-
Converting historical assay records for resource estimation or account reconciliation.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct recognition of the ton (assay) (UK) unit to avoid confusion with other ton units.
-
Verify assay practices locally when precise mass equivalences may vary.
-
Use this conversion primarily for assay-related small mass measurements rather than large-scale mass conversions.
Limitations
-
The ton (assay) (UK) is a specialized unit distinct from long ton, short ton, and metric tonne.
-
Conversion accuracy depends on conventional unit definitions and may not account for local assay practice variations.
-
Not intended for large-scale mass measurements due to the small conversion factor around 32.67 grams.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]?
-
It is a traditional unit of mass used mainly in assaying to measure ore or metal quantities, distinct from other ton units.
-
Why convert from assay tons to grams?
-
Converting to grams makes the data more universally understandable and practical for analysis and commercial transactions.
-
Can I use this converter for general mass conversions?
-
This converter is best for assay-related mass conversions, not for general large-scale weight measurements.
Key Terminology
