Neutron Mass
The neutron mass (m_n) is the mass of a neutron, a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, approximately 1.675 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms.
History/Origin
The neutron was discovered in 1932 by James Chadwick, leading to the understanding of its mass relative to protons and electrons. The neutron mass has been refined through experimental measurements in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The neutron mass is used in nuclear physics calculations, atomic mass units, and in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes, as part of the 'Common Converters' category.
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metals industry for assay and valuation purposes, especially in the UK and related markets, although it has largely been replaced by the metric gram and troy ounce in general commerce.
