Units explained
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.
Centigram
A centigram (cg) equals 0.00001 kilogram, or 0.01 gram.
From the SI prefix 'centi-' (from Latin 'centum', hundred).
Used in pharmacology and analytical chemistry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Ton (assay) (US) to Centigram conversion formula
The relationship between tons (assay) (us) and centigrams:
To convert tons (assay) (us) to centigrams, multiply the value in tons (assay) (us) by 2916.667. To reverse, multiply centigrams by 0.0003428571.

Step-by-step: convert tons (assay) (us) to centigrams
- Write down the value in tons (assay) (us) (AT).
- Multiply that value by the factor 2916.667.
- The product is the equivalent value in centigrams (cg).
- To reverse, multiply the centigram value by 0.0003428571.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 AT to cg:
1 × 2916.667 = 2916.667 cg
Example 2 — Convert 100 AT to cg:
100 × 2916.667 = 291666.7 cg
Real-world example — Adjacent small-scale precision
One ton (assay) (us) equals 1,000 centigrams — the standard sub-millimeter precision conversion that materials engineers use whenever they switch between bulk material thickness specs (larger unit) and surface-finish characteristics (smaller unit).
1 AT × 2916.667 = 2916.667 cg
Real-world example — Adjacent metric sub-units
One ton (assay) (us) equals 1,000 centigrams. Engineers move between these scales constantly: PCB feature sizes in the larger unit, wire-bond diameters in the smaller.
1 AT × 2916.667 = 2916.667 cg
