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

Femtogram

What is a femtogram?

A femtogram (fg) equals 10^-18 kilogram.

Origin of the femtogram

From the SI prefix 'femto-' (from Danish/Norwegian 'femten', fifteen).

Where it is used

Nanotechnology and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry.

When and where it was developed

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

Ton (assay) (US) to Femtogram conversion formula

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

1 AT = 2.916667e+16 fg
1 fg = 3.428571e-17 AT

To convert tons (assay) (us) to femtograms, multiply the value in tons (assay) (us) by 2.916667e+16. To reverse, multiply femtograms by 3.428571e-17.

How to use this converter

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

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

  1. Write down the value in tons (assay) (us) (AT).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2.916667e+16.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in femtograms (fg).
  4. To reverse, multiply the femtogram value by 3.428571e-17.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 AT to fg:
1 × 2.916667e+16 = 2.916667e+16 fg

Example 2 — Convert 100 AT to fg:
100 × 2.916667e+16 = 2.916667e+18 fg

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

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

1 AT × 2.916667e+16 = 2.916667e+16 fg

Real-world example — Centimeter to wavelength scale

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

1 AT × 2.916667e+16 = 2.916667e+16 fg
