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

It is a traditional UK unit of mass used specifically in assaying metals to report ore or metal quantities for analytical and commercial purposes.

Why does the talent (Biblical Greek) unit vary in mass?

The talent's mass differed across locations and historical periods, typically ranging from about 20 to 40 kilograms.

Can I use this conversion for precise scientific measurements?

No, due to variability in unit definitions, this conversion is best suited for historical interpretation and comparative studies.
