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.
Megagram (Mg)
A megagram, equal to 1,000 kilograms, is identical in quantity to the metric ton (tonne). While "tonne" is common in daily life, Mg is preferred in engineering, environmental science, and formal scientific writing because it is unambiguous and adheres strictly to SI conventions. Megagrams are used to express masses of vehicles, construction materials, waste output, or agricultural yields in large-scale analyses. The unit is especially useful in Earth sciences, where megagram quantities describe biomass, sediment transport, or volcanic emissions.
