What does 'ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]' represent?

It is a historical mass unit used in mining and assaying to define sample weights for precious metal content, with varying exact masses depending on jurisdiction.

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

Converting to grams allows modern reporting, comparison, and calculation of metal content with standard metric units.

Is the conversion factor constant for all assay tons?

No, the assay ton's mass has historically varied, so this tool uses a defined standard value for conversion.
