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.
About Troy Pounds
A troy pound (lb t) equals 12 troy ounces or 5,760 grains - approximately 373.24 grams. It is lighter than the common avoirdupois pound (453.59 g) because the troy system divides the pound into 12 ounces rather than 16. Historically used across Europe for trade in precious metals and pharmaceuticals, the troy pound was the legal standard in England from the 15th century until 1878. In the United States, the troy pound was once the official standard for coinage but was abolished for commercial use in 1828.
