Why is converting between US and UK assay tons important?

Different assay ton definitions affect how precious metal content is reported and settled in contracts, so conversions ensure consistency and accuracy across jurisdictions.

Can this converter handle other ton units like long ton or metric tonne?

No, this tool specifically converts between US and UK assay tons only, as they have unique historical and industry-specific definitions.

Is the US assay ton always the same mass?

No, the US assay ton's exact mass has varied historically depending on jurisdiction and assay practices.

Convert from Ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)] to Ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)]

Easily convert weight and mass units from the US assay ton (AT US) to the UK assay ton (AT UK). This tool supports mining and precious metals reporting needs for consistent assay results across different standards.
