Questions about this tool
How many kilograms are in one metric quintal?
1 q = 100 kg exactly.
How do I convert metric quintals to kilograms?
Use kg = q × 100. For example, 25 q = 2,500 kg.
How many metric quintals are in one kilogram?
1 kg = 0.01 q.
Are mass and weight the same thing?
Strictly no: mass is the amount of matter, in kilograms, while weight is the force of gravity on it, in newtons. Scales display mass, so everyday language uses the two words interchangeably.
What is the difference between an ounce and a troy ounce?
An ordinary ounce is 28.349523125 grams and is used for food and goods, while a troy ounce is 31.1034768 grams and is used to price gold and silver.
