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.

Slug

The slug is a unit of mass used primarily in the U.S. customary system and British engineering contexts.

1 slug = 32.174 pounds (lb) (mass)
Equivalent to approximately 14.5939 kilograms (kg)
Defined so that when a force of one pound-force (lbf) acts on a mass of one slug, it accelerates at 1 ft/s² (using $F = ma$ in imperial units).

Key Facts:

Used mainly in physics and engineering for calculations involving Newton’s second law in imperial units
Allows consistent use of pound-force and pound-mass without extra conversion factors
Useful in dynamics, ballistics, and engineering mechanics

The slug bridges the gap between force and mass in the imperial system, making calculations easier when using pound-force units.
