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

It is a historical mass unit used in mining and assaying precious metals to define standard sample masses for reporting metal content.

Why convert assay tons to neutron mass?

Converting assay tons to neutron mass helps relate macroscopic mining samples to fundamental particle masses essential in nuclear and particle physics.

Are the conversion results exact?

No, due to variations in assay ton definitions and measurement uncertainties in neutron mass, conversions are approximate.
