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

It is a historical mining mass unit used for precious-metal content reporting whose exact mass varies by jurisdiction and practice.

Why convert ton (assay) to pound-force square second/foot?

To represent historical or assay-specific mass measurements in engineering mass units used in US customary mechanics and calculations.

Are assay tons standardized everywhere?

No, the assay ton’s exact mass has varied by jurisdiction and historical context, so standards differ.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the exact assay ton definition applicable to your data as it varies by jurisdiction.
Understand the conversion factor to recognize the size difference between these units.
Use this conversion to bridge mining measurements with engineering mass parameters accurately.

Limitations

The assay ton’s exact mass differs historically and regionally, requiring caution in conversions.
The small conversion factor means assay tons are much larger than pound-force square second/foot units, which can affect precision.
This conversion assumes standard unit definitions without accounting for local gravitational variations or material properties.
