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.


Scruple (Apothecary) [s.ap]


The scruple is a small unit of mass used in the apothecary system, historically important in pharmacy for measuring medicinal ingredients.


One scruple equals 20 grains, or about 1.296 grams. It is also 1/3 of an apothecary dram and 1/24 of an apothecary ounce.


Though largely obsolete today, the scruple helped ensure precise measurement of drugs and compounds in traditional medicine.


Summary:



  • 1 scruple = 20 grains ≈ 1.296 grams



  • Used in apothecary (pharmacy) system



  • Important for accurate measurement of medicinal ingredients
