What is a metric quintal?

A metric quintal is a mass unit equal to 100 kilograms, commonly used to measure bulk agricultural products.

How does the long ton (UK) differ from other tons?

The long ton, also known as the Imperial ton, equals 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms, differing from short tons and metric tonnes.

Why convert between quintals and long tons?

Conversions are needed to reconcile agricultural, maritime, or historical trade measurements that use different unit standards.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform values from the metric quintal, a unit equaling 100 kilograms, into the long ton (UK), an imperial mass unit commonly used historically in the United Kingdom. It supports users needing to perform conversions between metric and imperial systems for weight and mass.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in quintals (metric) you want to convert.
Select quintal (metric) as the from-unit and ton (long) [ton (UK)] as the to-unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent weight in long tons.
Use the results for agricultural pricing, trade, or historical data analysis.

Key Features

Converts metric quintals (100 kg) to long tons (UK) accurately.
Supports weight and mass measurements relevant to agriculture and maritime contexts.
Uses exact defined conversion rates without estimation.
Browser-based and easy to operate with no installation required.
Ideal for handling legacy and modern weight unit conversions.

Examples

10 quintals (metric) equals approximately 0.9842 long tons.
50 quintals (metric) equals approximately 4.9210 long tons.

Common Use Cases

Pricing and trading agricultural commodities measured in 100-kg increments.
Recording and converting UK maritime ship displacement figures.
Reconciling legacy British trade data with metric measurements.
Converting legal or engineering documents between metric and imperial units.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify you are converting the correct quintal type, as the metric quintal differs from other hundredweight units.
Use this tool for bulk agricultural shipments or maritime measurements requiring historical unit consistency.
For modern commerce, consider metric tonnes or short tons if applicable, as the long ton is mostly historical.
Cross-check converted values when working with legal or contractual documents to ensure accuracy.

Limitations

The conversion involves metric and imperial standards, which may introduce rounding differences.
The long ton is largely historical and less common in current commercial measurements.
This tool does not support conversions to or from other hundredweight variants.
