Convert Neutron mass to ton (assay) (US)
Please provide values below to convert Neutron mass [m_n] to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)], or Convert ton (assay) (US) to Neutron mass.
How to Convert Neutron Mass to Ton (Assay) (Us)
1 m_n = 5.74260856470857e-26 AT (US)
Example: convert 15 m_n to AT (US):
15 m_n = 15 × 5.74260856470857e-26 AT (US) = 8.61391284706286e-25 AT (US)
Neutron Mass to Ton (Assay) (Us) Conversion Table
| Neutron mass | ton (assay) (US) |

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) (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.
