Quintal (Metric)
A quintal (metric) is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms.
History/Origin
The metric quintal originated in France in the 19th century as a standard unit of mass for trade and agriculture, replacing older local units. It is part of the metric system established during the French Revolution.
Current Use
The metric quintal is used primarily in agriculture and trade in some countries to measure large quantities of produce, though its use is less common today with the widespread adoption of the kilogram as the standard unit of mass.
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.
