Units explained

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.

Force / Engineering

Ton (assay) (UK)

What is a ton (assay) (uk)?

The assay ton (UK) equals about 32.667 grams, the long-ton analog of the assay ton.

Origin of the ton (assay) (uk)

The long-ton version of the assay-ton convenience unit.

Where it is used

Ore assaying in long-ton (imperial) contexts.

When and where it was developed

Adopted in assay laboratories using the long ton.

Femtogram to Ton (assay) (UK) conversion formula

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

1 fg = 3.061224e-17 AT

1 AT = 3.266667e+16 fg

To convert femtograms to tons (assay) (uk), multiply the value in femtograms by 3.061224e-17. To reverse, multiply tons (assay) (uk) by 3.266667e+16.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in tons (assay) (uk) 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) (UK) to Femtogram converter for the reverse direction.

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

Write down the value in femtograms (fg).
Multiply that value by the factor 3.061224e-17.
The product is the equivalent value in tons (assay) (uk) (AT).
To reverse, multiply the ton (assay) (uk) value by 3.266667e+16.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 fg to AT:
1 × 3.061224e-17 = 3.061224e-17 AT

Example 2 — Convert 100 fg to AT:
100 × 3.061224e-17 = 3.061224e-15 AT

Real-world example — Sub-micron to millimeter

500,000 femtograms converts to a small everyday quantity in tons (assay) (uk) — useful when relating optical-wavelength specifications to physical mounting hardware.

500000 fg × 3.061224e-17 = 1.530612e-11 AT

Real-world example — From wavelengths to millimeter-scale objects

A value of one million femtograms sounds vast at the atomic scale but converts to a small everyday quantity in tons (assay) (uk) — useful when relating optical-wavelength specifications to physical mounting hardware.

1000000 fg × 3.061224e-17 = 3.061224e-11 AT
