Convert centigram to quintal (metric)
Please provide values below to convert centigram [cg] to quintal (metric) [cwt], or Convert quintal (metric) to centigram.
1 cg = 1e-07 cwt. To convert centigram to quintal (metric), multiply the value by 1e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cwt = 10000000 cg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cg = 1e-07 cwt
- 1 cwt = 10000000 cg
- 10 cg = 1e-06 cwt
- 100 cg = 1e-05 cwt

Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
Quintal (Metric)
A quintal (metric) is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms.
History/Origin
The metric quintal originated in France in the 19th century as a standard unit of mass for trade and agriculture, replacing older local units. It is part of the metric system established during the French Revolution.
Current Use
The metric quintal is used primarily in agriculture and trade in some countries to measure large quantities of produce, though its use is less common today with the widespread adoption of the kilogram as the standard unit of mass.
