Convert dalton to quintal (metric)
Please provide values below to convert dalton [Da] to quintal (metric) [cwt], or Convert quintal (metric) to dalton.
1 Da = 1.6605e-29 cwt. To convert dalton to quintal (metric), multiply the value by 1.6605e-29; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cwt = 6.0221e+28 Da). 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 Da = 1.6605e-29 cwt
- 1 cwt = 6.0221e+28 Da
- 10 Da = 1.6605e-28 cwt
- 100 Da = 1.6605e-27 cwt
How to Convert Dalton to Quintal (Metric)
1 Da = 1.6605390666e-29 cwt
Example: convert 15 Da to cwt:
15 Da = 15 × 1.6605390666e-29 cwt = 2.4908085999e-28 cwt

Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
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.
