About these units
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 Although replaced by metric tons in the UK, it persists in maritime contexts and in interpreting historical documents.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.
Quarter (US) (qr (US))
The US quarter equals 25 pounds, serving as a smaller commercial subdivision of the hundredweight. It was used for pricing agricultural goods, livestock feed, and some industrial materials. Its convenience arises from the fact that four quarters make a hundredweight, simplifying scaling between small and medium quantities. Today it is mostly of historical interest, but agricultural economists still encounter it when analyzing archival data.
