What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to change mass values from the UK assay ton, a unit specialized in assaying and ore analysis, into kilograms, the SI base unit for mass. It is designed for professionals involved in mining, precious metals, and resource estimation who need standard measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)] you want to convert
-
Select ton (assay) (UK) as the input unit and kilogram [kg] as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent mass in kilograms
-
Review the result for use in scientific, commercial, or regulatory applications

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you use this conversion only within assay or mining contexts
-
Double-check unit labels to avoid confusing ton (assay) with other ton units
-
Use results to communicate assay data in universally recognized metric terms
-
Complement this conversion with industry context for accuracy in resource reporting
Limitations
-
Ton (assay) (UK) is specialized and uncommon outside assay and mining sectors
-
The conversion reflects a non-standard unit and may have limited precision
-
Do not mistake ton (assay) (UK) for long ton, short ton, or metric tonne due to significant differences
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a ton (assay) (UK)?
-
It is a traditional unit used in UK assay practice to report ore or metal quantities for analytical and commercial purposes, distinct from other ton units.
-
Why convert ton (assay) (UK) to kilograms?
-
This enables standardized reporting and interoperability of assay data across scientific, commercial, and regulatory fields using SI units.
-
Can ton (assay) (UK) be confused with other tons?
-
Yes, it is different from the long ton, short ton, and metric tonne, so users should verify the unit context carefully.
