Convert quintal (metric) to decigram
Please provide values below to convert quintal (metric) [cwt] to decigram [dg], or Convert decigram to quintal (metric).
1 cwt = 1000000 dg. To convert quintal (metric) to decigram, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dg = 1e-06 cwt). 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 cwt = 1000000 dg
- 1 dg = 1e-06 cwt
- 10 cwt = 10000000 dg
- 100 cwt = 100000000 dg
How to Convert Quintal (Metric) to Decigram
1 cwt = 1000000 dg
Example: convert 15 cwt to dg:
15 cwt = 15 × 1000000 dg = 15000000 dg

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.
Decigram
A decigram (dg) is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram, or 0.1 grams.
History/Origin
The decigram is part of the metric system, which was developed in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It has been used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to provide precise mass measurements.
Current Use
Decigrams are used in scientific, laboratory, and nutritional contexts where small mass measurements are required, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
