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.
Kilogram-force Second/Meter (kgf·s²/m)
This unusual unit represents a derived inertial mass-like quantity used in older engineering contexts based on gravitational force units rather than pure mass. One kilogram-force is the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity. When combined with s²/m, this creates a pseudo-mass unit used in engineering calculations involving dynamic systems. Although rarely used today, kgf·s²/m illustrates a transitional phase in engineering where gravitational and inertial concepts were intermixed before SI units standardized distinctions between mass and force.
