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

It is a traditional UK unit used in assaying to measure ore or metal quantities, distinct from long tons, short tons, and metric tonnes.

Why convert assay tons to proton mass?

This conversion links large-scale industrial mass measurements to fundamental particle mass scales, supporting interdisciplinary analyses.

Are the proton mass values used standardized?

Yes, the tool uses the recommended CODATA proton mass value for accurate conversions.
