What is a metric quintal (cwt)?

A metric quintal is a mass unit equal to 100 kilograms used mainly for bulk weights in metric countries.

How many decigrams are in one quintal (metric)?

One metric quintal equals 1,000,000 decigrams.

Why convert quintals to decigrams?

Converting to decigrams allows for very precise measurement of small masses derived from large bulk quantities.
