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.
Gerah (Biblical Hebrew)
The gerah was the smallest Hebrew weight, about 0.57 gram (one-twentieth of a shekel).
From a Hebrew word for a small grain or bean.
Ancient Israelite metrology.
Part of the smallest divisions of the biblical shekel.
