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.
Stone (st) — an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds
It is defined as exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds; since 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly, 1 st = 6.35029318 kg exactly. Used mainly in the United Kingdom and Ireland for measuring human body weight.
- Symbol: st
- System: Imperial unit for mass
- Exact relations: 1 st = 14 lb = 224 oz = 6.35029318 kg
- Metric equivalents: 1 st ≈ 6.35029 kg ≈ 6350.29 g
- Typical examples: a person weighing 10 st is 140 lb; a small adult ~8 st; a larger adult ~15 st.
