What is a ton (assay) (UK)?

A ton (assay) (UK) is a traditional unit of mass used in assaying to report ore or metal quantities for analytical and commercial purposes, distinct from other ton units.

What is the ton (long) (UK) used for?

The ton (long) (UK) is an imperial mass unit historically used in the UK for measuring ship displacement, bulk cargo, and other trade purposes.

Why convert from ton (assay) to ton (long)?

Users convert to translate assay-specific measurements into more general imperial weight units, enabling clearer reporting and comparison across contexts.
