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

It is a historical mining mass unit used to standardize sample weights for precious metal content reporting; its exact mass varies by location and practice.

Why convert ton (assay) (US) to atomic mass unit?

This conversion relates large assay mass measurements to atomic scale units for precise molecular and atomic analysis in fields like chemistry and nuclear physics.

Does the assay ton have a fixed value?

No, the assay ton varies historically and by jurisdiction, so modern reporting usually specifies exact mass values to reduce uncertainty.
