What is a gigagram used for?

A gigagram represents very large masses, commonly used in engineering, environmental reports, and bulk-material accounting.

How is the UK hundredweight defined?

It is an imperial mass unit equal to 112 avoirdupois pounds or about 50.8 kilograms, used especially in British commercial and engineering contexts.

Why should I be careful when converting between hundredweights?

Because the UK hundredweight differs from the US hundredweight, confusing them can lead to significant errors.
