What is the US assay ton?

It is a historical mass unit used in mining and assaying precious metals, with varying exact mass by jurisdiction.

Why convert assay tons to Planck mass?

To relate practical assay mass units to a fundamental natural mass scale important in theoretical physics and quantum gravity.

Can I use this conversion for everyday weight measurements?

No, because the Planck mass is a fundamental constant used primarily in physics, not for typical industrial mass measurements.
