About these units
US Ton (Short) (ton (US))
The US short ton equals 2,000 pounds (907.18474 kilograms) and is widely used in American industry, shipping, mining, agriculture, and engineering. Its definition at 2,000 pounds makes calculations convenient within the imperial system but creates potential confusion internationally, where the metric ton is standard. In markets such as coal, steel, and chemicals, contracts often specify the unit explicitly to avoid ambiguity. The US ton's role in commercial regulation, freight classification, and manufacturing ensures that it remains deeply embedded in American economic activity despite the global rise of the metric system.
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.
