Convert Quarter (US) to Metric Ton
Quarter (US)
The quarter (US) is a unit of mass used in the United States, primarily in agriculture. It is equal to 25 pounds or approximately 11.34 kilograms. The quarter is part of the U.S. customary 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 25 pounds. The term "quarter" comes from the Latin word "quartarius", meaning "fourth part". The quarter was used in trade and agriculture for centuries and was adopted in the United States as part of the U.S. customary system.
Metric Ton
The metric ton (or tonne, symbol t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms (1,000 kg) or 1 megagram (1 Mg). It is part of the metric system but is not an SI unit. However, it is accepted for use with the SI due to its widespread application in measuring large masses, such as in industry and transportation.
The metric ton was introduced in the 1790s during the creation of the metric system in France. It was established as a convenient way to represent large quantities of mass, aligning with the decimal-based nature of the system. The term "tonne" is derived from the Old French word "tonne", meaning a large cask or barrel, reflecting its use in measuring heavy loads. Over time, it became a standardized unit used globally in fields like shipping, agriculture, and environmental science.
