Slug
A slug is a unit of mass primarily used in the imperial system, equal to approximately 32.174 pounds or 14.5939 kilograms.
History/Origin
The slug was introduced in the 19th century as a unit of mass in the imperial system, named after the animal due to its slow movement, and has been used mainly in engineering and physics contexts within the United States.
Current Use
Today, the slug is primarily used in scientific and engineering calculations in the United States, especially in contexts involving imperial units, but it is largely replaced by the kilogram in most applications worldwide.
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.
