What is a ton (assay) (UK)?

It is a traditional unit of mass used primarily in assaying to represent quantities of ore or metal distinct from other ton units.

Where is hundredweight (UK) typically used?

It is used mainly in British and some Commonwealth commercial and engineering contexts for bulk mass measurement.

Why is the conversion factor between these units very small?

Because the assay ton is a much larger unit relative to the hundredweight, resulting in a small conversion rate.

How to Convert from Ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] to Hundredweight (UK)?

Easily convert weight values from the UK assay ton (AT) to the UK hundredweight with this clear and straightforward unit converter. Ideal for mining, assay labs, commodity pricing, and legal documentation needs.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert values from the UK assay ton, a traditional mass unit used in assaying ore or metal quantities, into the UK hundredweight, an imperial unit commonly used in bulk mass measurements within British and Commonwealth contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in ton (assay) (UK) you want to convert.
Select ton (assay) (UK) as the source unit and hundredweight (UK) as the target unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent hundredweight (UK) value.

Key Features

Converts between ton (assay) (UK) and hundredweight (UK) units precisely.
Supports industry-specific measurement conversions for mining and metallurgy.
Browser-based and easy to use anytime for laboratory, commercial, or engineering purposes.

Examples

10 Ton (assay) (UK) equals approximately 0.00643 Hundredweight (UK).
100 Ton (assay) (UK) converts to around 0.0643 Hundredweight (UK).

Common Use Cases

Translating assay ton measurements to imperial units for freight and shipping documents.
Calculating payable metal amounts and pricing in concentrate or ore trade.
Interpreting historical assay data when estimating resource quantities.
Pricing agricultural commodities using imperial bulk mass units in UK markets.
Referring to load and capacity specifications in engineering and legal papers.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the context to ensure the ton unit used is indeed the assay ton specific to metallurgy.
Double-check conversions due to the very small conversion factor between these units.
Use this tool primarily in regions and applications where imperial units like hundredweight remain standard.

Limitations

Ton (assay) (UK) is industry-specific and differs from other ton units such as the long or short ton.
The conversion factor is very small, so small input errors can lead to significant discrepancies.
Hundredweight usage is limited geographically to imperial measurement regions; metric units may be required elsewhere.
