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.

Centigram to Ton (assay) (US) conversion formula

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

1 cg = 0.0003428571 AT
1 AT = 2916.667 cg

To convert centigrams to tons (assay) (us), multiply the value in centigrams by 0.0003428571. To reverse, multiply tons (assay) (us) by 2916.667.

How to use this converter

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

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

  1. Write down the value in centigrams (cg).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 0.0003428571.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in tons (assay) (us) (AT).
  4. To reverse, multiply the ton (assay) (us) value by 2916.667.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 cg to AT:
1 × 0.0003428571 = 0.0003428571 AT

Example 2 — Convert 100 cg to AT:
100 × 0.0003428571 = 0.0342857104 AT

Real-world example — Packaging gauge

A 4-centigram plastic bag thickness is a common spec for grocery and freezer bags. Converting from centigrams to tons (assay) (us) is what packaging buyers do whenever they bridge US and metric supplier quotes.

4 cg × 0.0003428571 = 0.0013714284 AT

Real-world example — Plastic film and laminate thickness

A 500-centigram sheet is a typical spec for ID-card laminates and film overlays. Converting to tons (assay) (us) aligns the value with the unit most CAD systems and material datasheets prefer.

500 cg × 0.0003428571 = 0.1714285518 AT
