Convert Ton (assay) (UK) to Carat
Ton (assay) (UK)
The ton assay (UK) is a unit of mass used in the United Kingdom, primarily in the context of assaying precious metals. It is equal to 29.16666667 kilograms or approximately 64.58333333 pounds. The ton assay is used to measure the mass of ore samples in the process of determining the content of precious metals.
The ton assay originated in the United Kingdom as a unit of mass for assaying precious metals. It was defined as 29.16666667 kilograms or approximately 64.58333333 pounds. The term "ton assay" comes from the practice of assaying, which is the process of determining the content of precious metals in ore samples. The ton assay is used in the United Kingdom for this purpose.
Carat
The carat (ct) is a unit of mass used to measure the weight of gemstones and pearls. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams or 0.2 grams. It is commonly used in the jewelry industry to indicate the size and weight of precious stones such as diamonds, rubies, and emeralds.
The carat originated from the use of the carob seed (from the Ceratonia siliqua tree) as a reference for weight in ancient times. These seeds were used because of their relatively consistent weight, and they were widely available across regions. The term "carat" comes from the Greek word "keration", which means "little horn," referring to the carob seed. Over time, the carat became standardized, and in 1907, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defined the carat as 200 milligrams, ensuring consistency in the measurement of gemstones worldwide.
