A centigram (cg) is a metric mass unit equal to one hundredth of a gram or 10 milligrams, used for small precise weights in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings.

How much does one UK hundredweight weigh?

One UK hundredweight equals 112 avoirdupois pounds, or approximately 50.80234544 kilograms, representing one twentieth of a long (imperial) ton.

When would I need to convert centigrams to hundredweight (UK)?

This conversion is useful when integrating small-scale metric mass data, such as laboratory measurements, into commercial or industrial systems that use large imperial units like hundredweight.
