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.
Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
