Units explained
Teragram
A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.
From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).
Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.
The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.
Ton (assay) (US)
The assay ton (US) equals about 29.167 grams, a mining-assay convenience unit.
Devised so an assay sample's metal in milligrams reads as troy ounces per short ton.
Ore assaying and metallurgy.
Adopted in assay laboratories to simplify ore-grade calculation.
Teragram to Ton (assay) (US) conversion formula
The relationship between teragrams and tons (assay) (us):
To convert teragrams to tons (assay) (us), multiply the value in teragrams by 3.428571e+10. To reverse, multiply tons (assay) (us) by 2.916667e-11.
