About Long Hundredweights

A long hundredweight (long cwt) equals 112 pounds or approximately 50.802 kg - equal to 8 stone. The standard hundredweight in the United Kingdom and much of its historical trading sphere, it reflects the medieval English stone of 14 lb (8 × 14 = 112). British agricultural commodity prices, wool trade records, and livestock market reports historically used long hundredweights. The UK meat trade still occasionally references hundredweights in wholesale pricing.
