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.

Quarter (US) [qr (US)]

The quarter (US), abbreviated as qr (US), is a unit of weight used primarily in agriculture and commodities trading in the United States. It equals 25 pounds (about 11.34 kilograms).

The quarter is one-quarter of a US hundredweight (100 pounds), making it a convenient subdivision for measuring smaller bulk quantities of goods like grains, livestock, and produce.

Summary:

1 US quarter = 25 pounds (11.34 kg)
Used mainly in US agricultural and commodity markets
Represents ¼ of a US hundredweight
