Ton (Assay) (Uk)
The ton (assay) (UK), symbol AT (UK), is a traditional unit of weight used primarily for precious metals, equivalent to 31.1034768 grams.
History/Origin
The assay ton originated in the United Kingdom as a standard measure for precious metals, particularly gold and silver, used in assay processes and trading. It has historical roots in the British imperial system and was standardized for trade and assay purposes.
Current Use
Today, the assay ton (UK) is mainly used in the precious metals industry for assay and valuation purposes, especially in the UK and related markets, although it has largely been replaced by the metric gram and troy ounce in general commerce.
Pound-Force Square Second/foot
A unit of dynamic force-time product, representing pound-force multiplied by seconds squared per foot, used in engineering contexts to measure force-related quantities over time and distance.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the British imperial system, combining the pound-force with a time squared and length unit to quantify specific force-time interactions, primarily in mechanical and structural engineering applications.
Current Use
Currently, the unit is rarely used in modern engineering, but it may appear in specialized calculations involving force, time, and distance in legacy systems or theoretical analyses within the imperial measurement framework.
