About these units
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.
Kiloton (Metric) (kt)
A kiloton, equal to 1,000 metric tons, is used in large-scale industrial, geological, and agricultural contexts. However, the term is better known for expressing explosive yields, particularly of nuclear weapons. Scientists estimate the energy release of explosions by comparing them to the detonation of 1,000 tons of TNT. For example, the Hiroshima bomb had a yield of about 15 kilotons. Outside military contexts, kilotons appear in discussions of carbon emissions, waste production, and global resource extraction. They provide a manageable scale for describing quantities too large for tons but not yet at the megaton level.
