Ton (assay) (US)

The ton assay (US) is a unit of mass used in the United States, 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.

Origin:

The ton assay originated in the United States 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 States for this purpose.

Grain

The grain (gr) is a unit of mass used in both the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 1/7000 of a pound or approximately 64.79891 milligrams. The grain is one of the smallest units of mass commonly used and is primarily employed in measuring the weight of precious metals, gemstones, and ammunition (such as bullets).

Origin:

The grain traces its origins to ancient times and was originally based on the weight of a single grain of cereal, such as barley or wheat, which was used as a reference for small weight measurements. The term "grain" comes from the Latin "granum", meaning "grain" or "seed." The grain was used as a standard measure in ancient civilizations, including the Romans, and its use continued throughout medieval Europe. Over time, it was standardized in the 14th century as part of the Avoirdupois system and has remained in use for very precise measurements in modern times, especially in scientific fields, medicine, and the firearm industry.
