Nanogram
A nanogram (ng) is a unit of mass equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a gram.
History/Origin
The nanogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small quantities, especially in scientific and medical fields, as the need for precise measurement of tiny masses grew with technological advancements.
Current Use
Nanograms are commonly used in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing to measure very small amounts of substances accurately.
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metals industry for assay and valuation purposes, especially in the UK and related markets, although it has largely been replaced by the metric gram and troy ounce in general commerce.
