Quintal (q) — a metric unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms
It is commonly defined in the metric system as exactly 100 kilograms; historically, the word quintal has also been used for hundredweight-based units, so the exact value can depend on context. Used mainly in agriculture, trade, freight, and commodity measurements in countries where quintals are still common.
- Symbol: q
- System: Non-SI metric unit for mass; equal to 100 kilograms
- Exact relations: 1 q = 100 kg = 100,000 g = 0.1 t
- Imperial equivalents (derived from 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly): 1 q ≈ 220.462 lb ≈ 3527.40 oz
- Typical examples: crop yields may be measured in q per hectare; sacks of grain or rice can be counted in q; 10 q equals 1 metric ton.
Ounce (oz) — an imperial and US customary unit of mass
It is defined as exactly one sixteenth of an avoirdupois pound; since 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly, 1 oz = 28.349523125 g exactly. Used in the United States and some other countries for measuring food, packages, precious metals, and everyday small masses.
- Symbol: oz
- System: Imperial and US customary unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 oz = 1/16 lb = 28.349523125 g = 28,349.523125 mg
- Metric equivalents: 1 oz ≈ 28.3495 g ≈ 0.0283495 kg
- Typical examples: a slice of bread ~1 oz; a letter ~1 oz; a small bag of chips ~1 oz.
