What is a ton (assay) (UK)?

A UK assay ton is a traditional unit of mass used in the assaying industry to report ore or metal quantities for analysis and commercial calculations, distinct from long ton, short ton, and metric tonne.

Why convert ton (assay) (UK) to hectogram?

Converting to hectograms helps translate traditional assay metal weights into metric units, making the data easier to interpret, compare, and use in scientific and commercial settings.

Is the conversion factor exact for all assay tons?

No, the assay ton can have slight variations, so the provided conversion factor is a general guideline and may not be exact in all contexts.
