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

It is a traditional UK assay ton used in assaying ores and metals for analytical and commercial purposes, distinct from other ton units.

What does pound-force square second per foot represent?

It is an imperial unit of mass equal to the mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² under 1 pound-force, commonly called a slug.

When should I use this conversion tool?

Use it when translating assay ton mass measurements into imperial units needed for engineering or mechanical calculations in US customary systems.
