About these units
Quintal (Metric) (cwt (m))
The metric quintal, equal to 100 kilograms, is commonly used in agriculture for measuring harvest yields, livestock feed, and bulk commodities such as grains, sugar, and potatoes. Its simplicity makes it popular in countries with strong agricultural sectors. Farmers, traders, and cooperatives find the quintal more intuitive for medium-sized loads than kilograms or metric tons. Though not an SI unit, it remains deeply embedded in agricultural commerce throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
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 While replaced by metric units in the UK, this unit persists in historical documents, trade archives, and older engineering references.
