Convert Quarter (UK) to Short Ton
Quarter (UK)
The quarter (UK) is a unit of mass used in the United Kingdom, primarily in agriculture. It is equal to 28 pounds or approximately 12.7 kilograms. The quarter is part of the British Imperial system and is used to measure bulk commodities like grain.
The quarter originated in medieval England as a unit of mass for measuring grain and other agricultural products. It was defined as 1/4 of a hundredweight, or 28 pounds. The term "quarter" comes from the Latin word "quartarius", meaning "fourth part". The quarter was used in trade and agriculture for centuries and continues to be used in the UK as part of the British Imperial system.
Short Ton
The short ton (symbol tn or t) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United States. It is equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms. The short ton is part of the U.S. customary system and is smaller than both the long ton (used in the UK) and the metric ton.
The short ton originated in the U.S. as a way to standardize weight measurements, particularly for bulk commodities like coal and steel. It is called "short" to distinguish it from the long ton (also known as the imperial ton), which is used in the UK and equals 2,240 pounds. The short ton became widely used in the United States during the 19th century as part of the U.S. customary system of measurements.
