About These Units
About Ounce
The <b>ounce</b> is a traditional unit of weight. The <b>avoirdupois ounce</b>, the unit commonly used in the United States, is 1/16 pound or about 28.3495 grams. The avoirdupois ounce also equals 175/192 = about 0.911 457 troy ounce or 437.5 grains. The word ounce is from the Latin uncia, meaning a 1/12 part, because the Roman pound was divided into 12 ounces. The word "inch," meaning 1/12 foot, has the same root.
About Hundredweight [long, UK]
The <b>hundredweight [long, UK] (Cwt or cwt)</b> is a traditional unit of weight equal to 1/20 ton. The hundredweight is the English version of a commercial unit used throughout Europe and known in other countries as the quintal or the zentner. In general, this unit is larger than 100 pounds avoirdupois, so to fit the European market the hundredweight was defined in England as 112 pounds avoirdupois (about 50.8023 kilograms) rather than 100 pounds. This definition apparently dates from about the middle of the 1300's. The British hundredweight was divided into 4 quarters of 28 pounds, 8 stone of 14 pounds, or 16 cloves of 7 pounds each. To distinguish the two hundredweight units, the British version is often called the <b>long hundredweight</b> and the American is called the <b>short hundredweight</b> or <b>cental</b>. The C in the symbol is of course the Roman numeral 100.
