Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force square second/meter [kgf·s²/m] to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)], or Convert ton (assay) (US) to kilogram-force square second/meter.
How to Convert Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter to Ton (Assay) (Us)
1 kgf·s²/m = 336.228 AT (US)
Example: convert 15 kgf·s²/m to AT (US):
15 kgf·s²/m = 15 × 336.228 AT (US) = 5043.42 AT (US)

Kilogram-Force Square Second/meter
Kilogram-force square second per meter (kgf·s²/m) is a derived unit used to measure a specific combination of force, time, and length, often in specialized engineering contexts.
History/Origin
The unit originates from the kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram mass, combined with time and length units for specific applications. It has been used historically in mechanical and engineering calculations before the widespread adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Currently, kgf·s²/m is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by SI units. It may still appear in legacy systems or specialized fields requiring non-standard units.
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.
