Ton (assay) (US)

What is a ton (assay) (us)?

The assay ton (US) equals about 29.167 grams, a mining-assay convenience unit.

Origin of the ton (assay) (us)

Devised so an assay sample's metal in milligrams reads as troy ounces per short ton.

Where it is used

Ore assaying and metallurgy.

When and where it was developed

Adopted in assay laboratories to simplify ore-grade calculation.

Metric / SI

Attogram

What is a attogram?

An attogram (ag) equals 10^-21 kilogram.

Origin of the attogram

From the SI prefix 'atto-' (from Danish 'atten', eighteen).

Where it is used

Frontier nanoscience and single-molecule mass detection.

When and where it was developed

The atto- prefix was adopted by the CGPM in 1975.

Ton (assay) (US) to Attogram conversion formula

The relationship between tons (assay) (us) and attograms:

1 AT = 2.916667e+19 ag
1 ag = 3.428571e-20 AT

To convert tons (assay) (us) to attograms, multiply the value in tons (assay) (us) by 2.916667e+19. To reverse, multiply attograms by 3.428571e-20.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in attograms updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Attogram to Ton (assay) (US) converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert tons (assay) (us) to attograms

  1. Write down the value in tons (assay) (us) (AT).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2.916667e+19.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in attograms (ag).
  4. To reverse, multiply the attogram value by 3.428571e-20.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 AT to ag:
1 × 2.916667e+19 = 2.916667e+19 ag

Example 2 — Convert 100 AT to ag:
100 × 2.916667e+19 = 2.916667e+21 ag

Real-world example — Small-scale to atomic-scale

One ton (assay) (us) equals 10 million attograms — useful for physics curricula that relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 AT × 2.916667e+19 = 2.916667e+19 ag

Real-world example — Centimeter to wavelength scale

One ton (assay) (us) equals 10 million attograms. Physics curricula use this kind of conversion to relate everyday measurements to atomic and optical scales.

1 AT × 2.916667e+19 = 2.916667e+19 ag
