About these units
Hundredweight (UK) (cwt (UK))
The British hundredweight equals 112 pounds (50.802345 kg). The extra 12 pounds derive from England's historical use of a 14-pound stone. The British hundredweight was used across the former British Empire for trade, taxation, and freight classification. It scales into the long ton (20 cwt = 1 long ton), forming a fully coherent system within imperial measurements. While replaced by metric units in the UK, this unit persists in historical documents, trade archives, and older engineering references.
Centigram (cg)
A centigram, equal to 1/100 of a gram, is an intermediate unit not frequently encountered in everyday life but occasionally useful in laboratory settings and chemical formulations. Its size offers a compromise between the larger gram and the smaller milligram, especially in contexts like dietetics, powdered chemicals, or small-scale industrial ingredients. Though not widely used, the centigram's value lies in its flexibility—providing a metric option for moderate precision without resorting to decimals.
