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

It is a traditional UK assay ton used for reporting ore or metal quantities in assay certificates, distinct from long, short tons, and metric tonnes.

Why convert assay tons to pounds (troy or apothecary)?

This helps interpret assay data within historical precious metal weight systems used in bullion trading and archival research.

Is the troy pound still used today?

The troy pound is largely obsolete; today, troy ounces and metric units are more commonly used.
