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.
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron is the nucleus of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one proton and one neutron bound together.
Its rest mass is approximately 3.344 × 10⁻²⁷ kilograms (about 1875.6 MeV/c²).
The deuteron plays a key role in nuclear physics and fusion reactions.
Summary:
Rest mass ≈ 3.344 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
Equivalent to about 1875.6 MeV/c²
Nucleus of deuterium (1 proton + 1 neutron)
