What is a teragram (Tg)?

A teragram is a metric mass unit equal to 10^12 grams or one million metric tonnes used for expressing very large weights.

How much does one metric quintal weigh?

A metric quintal weighs 100 kilograms and is used especially in agriculture and bulk weight measurements.

Why use metric quintals instead of traditional hundredweight?

Metric quintals are based on 100 kg, providing a clear metric standard unlike the British or US hundredweight, which differ in weight.
