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

It is a historical mining and assaying unit used to define the standard sample mass for reporting precious-metal content, with variations by jurisdiction.

What does a dalton measure?

A dalton measures mass at the atomic and molecular level, defined as one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Why convert ton (assay) (US) to dalton?

Converting allows translating assay sample masses into atomic-level mass units helpful in chemistry, biochemistry, and resource estimation.
