Convert Gram to Quintal
Gram
The gram (g) is a unit of mass in the metric system, and it is equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram (0.001 kg). Since the kilogram is the SI base unit of mass defined by the Planck constant (h), the gram is indirectly defined by the same constant. This modern definition ensures the gram's precision and stability as part of the International System of Units (SI).
The gram was introduced in 1795 during the French Revolution as part of the metric system's creation. Originally, it was defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water at its maximum density (approximately 4°C). This practical link to water made it a convenient and universal reference. The gram served as a base unit of mass in early metric systems, but in 1889, the kilogram was adopted as the primary standard, making the gram a derived unit equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram.
Quintal
The quintal is a unit of mass used in some countries, primarily in trade and agriculture. It is equal to 100 kilograms (kg) in most countries that use the metric system. In the U.S., however, the quintal is sometimes referred to as 100 pounds (approximately 45.36 kilograms) and is used in certain industries, particularly in agriculture.
The term quintal comes from the Latin word "centum", meaning "hundred," and historically referred to a weight of around 100 kilograms. It was used in medieval Europe for measuring bulk commodities like grain, and the weight of the quintal varied by region and commodity. Over time, the quintal became standardized to 100 kilograms in most countries that adopted the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries. It continues to be used in international trade and agriculture, especially in countries like India, Brazil, and some European countries.
