Convert Hundredweight (US) to Grain
Hundredweight (US)
The hundredweight (US) is a unit of mass used in the United States, primarily in agriculture and industry. It is equal to 100 pounds or approximately 45.36 kilograms. The hundredweight is part of the U.S. customary system and is used to measure bulk commodities like grain and livestock.
The hundredweight originated in medieval England as a unit of mass for measuring grain and other agricultural products. It was defined as 100 pounds. The term "hundredweight" comes from the Latin word "centum", meaning "hundred". The hundredweight was used in trade and agriculture for centuries and was adopted in the United States as part of the U.S. customary system.
Grain
The grain (gr) is a unit of mass used in both the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 1/7000 of a pound or approximately 64.79891 milligrams. The grain is one of the smallest units of mass commonly used and is primarily employed in measuring the weight of precious metals, gemstones, and ammunition (such as bullets).
The grain traces its origins to ancient times and was originally based on the weight of a single grain of cereal, such as barley or wheat, which was used as a reference for small weight measurements. The term "grain" comes from the Latin "granum", meaning "grain" or "seed." The grain was used as a standard measure in ancient civilizations, including the Romans, and its use continued throughout medieval Europe. Over time, it was standardized in the 14th century as part of the Avoirdupois system and has remained in use for very precise measurements in modern times, especially in scientific fields, medicine, and the firearm industry.
