Pound-Force Square Second/foot
A unit of dynamic force-time product, representing pound-force multiplied by seconds squared per foot, used in engineering contexts to measure force-related quantities over time and distance.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the British imperial system, combining the pound-force with a time squared and length unit to quantify specific force-time interactions, primarily in mechanical and structural engineering applications.
Current Use
Currently, the unit is rarely used in modern engineering, but it may appear in specialized calculations involving force, time, and distance in legacy systems or theoretical analyses within the imperial measurement framework.
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.
