Convert ton (assay) (US) to Deuteron mass
Please provide values below to convert ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)] to Deuteron mass [m_d], or Convert Deuteron mass to ton (assay) (US).
How to Convert Ton (Assay) (Us) to Deuteron Mass
1 AT (US) = 8.72317508758904e+24 m_d
Example: convert 15 AT (US) to m_d:
15 AT (US) = 15 × 8.72317508758904e+24 m_d = 1.30847626313836e+26 m_d

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.
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
