About these units
Scruple (Apothecary) (s.ap)
The scruple is an old apothecary unit equal to 20 grains or 1.2959782 grams, originating in ancient Greek and Roman medicine. Apothecaries used scruples for compounding herbal remedies, powders, and tinctures long before standardized metric systems were adopted. Its size made it ideal for preparing early pharmaceuticals where doses needed to be accurate but not excessively granular. Over centuries, the scruple appeared in medical recipes, early scientific writings, and even medieval charms and remedies. Although obsolete today, replaced by milligrams and grams, the scruple is vital for historians studying early medical texts, pharmacy records, and classical-era scientific practices.
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.
