What is a quintal (metric) [cwt] used for?

It is primarily used to measure bulk weights in agriculture and commodity trading where quantities are expressed in 100-kilogram units.

Why convert quintals to micrograms?

Conversions to micrograms enable precise measurement of small quantities starting from large bulk masses, useful in pharmaceutical, laboratory, and environmental contexts.

Are the conversion numbers easy to interpret?

Because the units represent vastly different scales, converted values often become very large, which may be difficult to read or apply without care.
