Hundredweight
The hundredweight (abbreviation: cwt), formerly also known as the centum weight or quintal, is a British imperial and US customary unit of weight or mass. Its value differs between the US and British imperial systems. The two values are distinguished in American English as the "short" and "long" hundredweight and in British English as the "cental" and the "imperial hundredweight".
- The short hundredweight or cental of 100 pounds (45.36 kg) is used in the United States.
- The long or imperial hundredweight of 8 stone or 112 pounds (50.80 kg) is defined in the imperial system.
Under both conventions, there are 20 hundredweight in a ton, producing a "short ton" of 2,000 pounds and a "long ton" of 2,240 pounds.
