Megagram
A megagram (Mg) is a unit of mass equal to one million grams or 1,000 kilograms.
History/Origin
The megagram was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a larger unit of mass, primarily used in scientific and industrial contexts. It is also known as a metric ton in some regions, though this can vary by country.
Current Use
The megagram is used in scientific, industrial, and environmental fields to measure large quantities of mass, especially where the metric system is standard. It is commonly used in contexts such as agriculture, manufacturing, and environmental science.
Ton (Assay) (Us)
The ton (assay) (US), symbolized as AT (US), is a unit of weight used primarily in the assay and precious metals industry, equivalent to 31.1034768 grams.
History/Origin
The assay ton originated in the United States as a standardized measure for precious metal content in assays, aligning with the metric system but retaining the traditional 'ton' terminology for industry consistency.
Current Use
Today, the assay ton (AT US) is used mainly in the precious metals industry for assay purposes, especially in the context of gold and silver purity measurements, and is part of weight and mass conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
