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.
UK Ton (Long) (ton (UK))
The British long ton equals 2,240 pounds (1,016.0469088 kilograms). Historically used throughout the British Empire, it appears frequently in naval records, early engineering documents, and historical trade ledgers. The long ton's relation to the imperial hundredweight (112 pounds × 20) makes sense within the structure of older English measurement systems. Although replaced by metric tons in the UK, it persists in maritime contexts and in interpreting historical documents. Its presence captures the complexity of pre-metric trade and the need for careful interpretation when comparing international tonnage systems.
