Convert Ton (assay) (US) to Short Ton
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.
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.
Short Ton
The short ton (symbol tn or t) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United States. It is equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms. The short ton is part of the U.S. customary system and is smaller than both the long ton (used in the UK) and the metric ton.
The short ton originated in the U.S. as a way to standardize weight measurements, particularly for bulk commodities like coal and steel. It is called "short" to distinguish it from the long ton (also known as the imperial ton), which is used in the UK and equals 2,240 pounds. The short ton became widely used in the United States during the 19th century as part of the U.S. customary system of measurements.
