Convert Deuteron mass to ton (assay) (US)
Please provide values below to convert Deuteron mass [m_d] to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)], or Convert ton (assay) (US) to Deuteron mass.
How to Convert Deuteron Mass to Ton (Assay) (Us)
1 m_d = 1.14637157910857e-25 AT (US)
Example: convert 15 m_d to AT (US):
15 m_d = 15 × 1.14637157910857e-25 AT (US) = 1.71955736866286e-24 AT (US)

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.
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.
