Convert kiloton (metric) to ton (assay) (US)
Please provide values below to convert kiloton (metric) [kt] to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)], or Convert ton (assay) (US) to kiloton (metric).
1 kt = 34285714.2857 AT (US). To convert kiloton (metric) to ton (assay) (US), multiply the value by 34285714.2857; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AT (US) = 2.91666666667e-08 kt). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Kiloton (Metric)
A kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.
History/Origin
The term 'kiloton' originated in the 20th century, primarily used in military and scientific contexts to measure large quantities of explosive energy or mass, especially in nuclear weapon yields and large-scale industrial measurements.
Current Use
Today, kilotons are commonly used to express the explosive yield of nuclear weapons, the mass of large objects, and in scientific research related to energy and mass measurements.
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.
