Gigagram [Gg]

The gigagram is a metric unit of mass representing large quantities.

1 gigagram = 10⁹ grams
1 gigagram = 1,000,000 kilograms (1 million kilograms)
Symbol: Gg

Key Facts:

Used to measure large masses in environmental studies, agriculture, and industry
Part of the SI system, where the prefix "giga-" means $10^{9}$
Convenient for expressing quantities larger than tonnes but smaller than teragrams

The gigagram is useful for quantifying sizable amounts of material in scientific and commercial contexts.

Ton (Assay) (US) [AT (US)]

The assay ton (AT) is a specialized unit of weight used in the mining and precious metals industries in the United States. It is primarily used to measure ore quantities for assaying, which is the process of analyzing the metal content of ore samples.

One assay ton equals 29.1667 pounds (about 13.23 kilograms), which is different from the standard short ton (2,000 pounds). This smaller ton unit allows for more precise measurements in evaluating the value of ore deposits.

The assay ton helps miners and metallurgists accurately calculate the concentration of valuable metals like gold and silver in ores.
