About these units
Ton (Assay) (US) (AT (US))
The US assay ton is a specialized unit used in mining and metallurgy for evaluating ore grades. It is defined as 29.166⅔ grams, a very small mass chosen to simplify calculations relating assay results to tons of ore. The idea is that if an assay ton of sample yields 1 milligram of precious metal, then one actual ton of ore contains 1 ounce of that metal. This scaling makes laboratory results directly translatable to mining yields. While obsolete in modern industrial practice, where metric units dominate, the assay ton remains important in historical mining records and for researchers studying early industrial metallurgy.
Gerah (Biblical Hebrew) (gerah)
A gerah, approximately 0.57 grams, is the smallest unit in the Hebrew weight system. 1 shekel = 20 gerahs Gerahs were used for minute quantities of precious metals or spices for ritual purposes. Biblical texts refer to gerahs in the context of sanctuary offerings and priestly duties. The gerah illustrates the fine-grained precision required for temple rituals and daily commerce in the ancient Near East.
