About these units
Hundredweight (US) (cwt (US))
The US hundredweight equals 100 pounds (45.359237 kg) and is used in agriculture, livestock markets, and commodity trading. Farmers often price hay, grain, and cattle by the hundredweight. The oil and chemical industries also use it for bulk goods. Its relation to the ton (20 cwt = 1 US ton) integrates it smoothly into the US customary system. Although it complicates international trade due to conflicting definitions with the UK version, the US hundredweight remains essential in domestic commerce.
Quarter (UK) (qr (UK))
The UK quarter, equal to 28 pounds, corresponds to 1/4 of a UK hundredweight. Historically used in grain trade, wool markets, and taxation, it reflects the older English approach to structuring weights around the stone. Its direct link to the long hundredweight made it easy for merchants to calculate loads and price goods. While obsolete today, the UK quarter remains important for historians reconstructing traditional British commerce and agricultural economies.
