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

It’s a historic mass unit in mining and assaying to report precious metal content per sample for certificates and contracts.

Why convert assay tons to muon mass units?

Converting these units links metallurgical measurements with fundamental particle physics for interdisciplinary analyses.

Can I use this tool for general mass conversions?

This tool is specialized for converting between ton (assay) and muon mass and not intended for everyday mass unit conversions.
