Ton (Assay) (Us)
The ton (assay) (US), symbolized as AT (US), is a unit of weight used primarily in the assay and precious metals industry, equivalent to 31.1034768 grams.
History/Origin
The assay ton originated in the United States as a standardized measure for precious metal content in assays, aligning with the metric system but retaining the traditional 'ton' terminology for industry consistency.
Current Use
Today, the assay ton (AT US) is used mainly in the precious metals industry for assay purposes, especially in the context of gold and silver purity measurements, and is part of weight and mass conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram, a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
History/Origin
The kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water. It was later represented by a platinum standard in 1875, known as the International Prototype Kilogram, which served as the global standard until 2019.
Current Use
Today, the kilogram is defined by the Planck constant, fixed at exactly 6.62607015×10⁻³⁴ joule seconds, ensuring greater precision and stability in measurements worldwide. It is widely used in science, industry, and commerce for measuring mass.
