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.

Milligram

The milligram (mg) is a unit of mass in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a gram (0.001 g) or one-millionth of a kilogram (0.000001 kg). Since the gram and kilogram are defined using the Planck constant (h) in the International System of Units (SI), the milligram is indirectly tied to this same constant, ensuring precision and consistency.

Origin:

The milligram originated as a derived unit of mass within the metric system, introduced during the French Revolution in the late 18th century. As part of the decimal-based metric system, it was designed to provide a smaller and more convenient unit for measuring very light objects, especially in scientific and medical contexts. It is defined in relation to the gram, which was originally based on the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water at 4°C.
