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.

Pound (Troy or Apothecary)

The Troy pound is a traditional unit of weight used primarily in precious metals like gold, silver, and gemstones. Originating from the medieval French town of Troyes, it differs from the common avoirdupois pound. One troy pound equals 12 troy ounces, with each troy ounce weighing about 31.1 grams, making the troy pound approximately 373.24 grams.

Similarly, the apothecary pound was historically used in pharmacy and medicine for measuring ingredients. It also consists of 12 ounces but is slightly different in weight compared to the troy system. Both systems were crucial before the widespread adoption of the metric system and are still used today in specific fields for precision weighing.
