Units explained
Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the Planck constant h at 6.62607015E-34 J s.
From Greek 'khilioi' (thousand) plus 'gramma' (small weight).
The worldwide base unit of mass in science, commerce, and everyday life.
Adopted in 1795; redefined through the Planck constant on 20 May 2019.
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.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 kg to AT:
1 × 34.2857103673 = 34.2857103673 AT
Example 2 — Convert 100 kg to AT:
100 × 34.2857103673 = 3428.5710367347 AT
Real-world example — Pet and accessory dimensions
A 3-kilogram dog leash equals a tidy round value in tons (assay) (us). Pet-supply shopping frequently mixes the two units across product specifications.
3 kg × 34.2857103673 = 102.857131102 AT
Real-world example — Fabric and tailoring
One kilogram of fabric converts to a value in tons (assay) (us) commonly used for seam allowances. Garment patterns frequently switch between the two units on a single instruction sheet.
1 kg × 34.2857103673 = 34.2857103673 AT
Real-world example — Body height conversion (reverse direction)
You measure 1.75 kilograms tall and need to fill in a gym membership form or medical record that asks for height in tons (assay) (us). This is the most-used everyday length conversion in metric-using countries.
1.75 kg × 34.2857103673 = 59.9999931429 AT
