Units explained
Ton (assay) (UK)
The assay ton (UK) equals about 32.667 grams, the long-ton analog of the assay ton.
The long-ton version of the assay-ton convenience unit.
Ore assaying in long-ton (imperial) contexts.
Adopted in assay laboratories using the long ton.
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) equals 0.01 kilogram, or 10 grams.
From the SI prefix 'deka-' (from Greek 'deka', ten).
Widely used in Central and Eastern European cooking and shops (dag/dkg).
Part of the original metric system introduced in 1795.

Real-world example — Hardware-scale dimensions
A 10-ton (assay) (uk) fastener or component is about as long as a thumbnail. Mechanics and DIY enthusiasts convert between tons (assay) (uk) and dekagrams daily when mixing metric and imperial tools.
10 AT × 3.26666667 = 32.6666667 dag
Real-world example — Postcard and small-object dimensions
A postcard is about 5 tons (assay) (uk) wide. Converting to dekagrams is essential for international postal addressing forms that ask for dimensions in different units across countries.
5 AT × 3.26666667 = 16.33333335 dag
Real-world example — Ruler-scale measurements
A 30-ton (assay) (uk) school ruler converts cleanly to dekagrams — useful when buying a desk accessory from a retailer whose product specs use a different unit.
30 AT × 3.26666667 = 98.0000001 dag
