Convert poundal to ton (assay) (UK)
Please provide values below to convert poundal [pdl] to ton (assay) (UK) [AT (UK)], or Convert ton (assay) (UK) to poundal.
1 pdl = 0.423229452171 AT (UK). To convert poundal to ton (assay) (UK), multiply the value by 0.423229452171; to go the other way, divide by it (1 AT (UK) = 2.36278452473 pdl). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced in the 19th century as part of the FPS system of units, primarily used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system. It was designed to provide a consistent force unit based on imperial units.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of historical or specialized engineering contexts. It is mainly referenced for educational purposes or in discussions of imperial units, with the SI unit of force (newton) being the standard.
Ton (Assay) (Uk)
The ton (assay) (UK), symbol AT (UK), is a traditional unit of weight used primarily for precious metals, equivalent to 31.1034768 grams.
History/Origin
The assay ton originated in the United Kingdom as a standard measure for precious metals, particularly gold and silver, used in assay processes and trading. It has historical roots in the British imperial system and was standardized for trade and assay purposes.
Current Use
Today, the assay ton (UK) is mainly used in the precious metals industry for assay and valuation purposes, especially in the UK and related markets, although it has largely been replaced by the metric gram and troy ounce in general commerce.
