What is Centigram ?

A Centigram (cg) is a metric unit of mass equal to one-hundredth of a gram (0.01 grams). It is used primarily for measuring very small quantities of substances or objects.

To put it into perspective:
- 1 gram (g) = 100 centigrams (cg)
- 1 centigram (cg) = 0.01 grams (g)

In everyday terms, a centigram is a very small amount of mass. For example, a single grain of rice might weigh around 20 centigrams.

Centigrams are particularly useful in contexts where precision in measuring small quantities is crucial, such as in pharmaceuticals for measuring medication doses or in scientific research for weighing tiny samples. They provide a finer level of detail than larger units like grams or kilograms, allowing for more accurate measurements in the metric system.


What is Long ton ?

A Long ton is a unit of weight measurement primarily used in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. It is equivalent to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016 kilograms. The long ton is also known as the imperial ton or the British ton.

To break it down:
- 1 long ton = 2,240 pounds
- 1 pound = 0.00045359237 metric tons

In simpler terms, a long ton is slightly heavier than a metric ton (tonne), which is commonly used in most other parts of the world. For example, a long ton is approximately equal to 1.016 metric tons.

Long tons are typically used in industries such as shipping, mining, and agriculture, particularly in the United Kingdom and countries that were formerly part of the British Empire. They provide a specific and recognized unit of weight for measuring large quantities of goods, particularly bulk commodities like coal, iron ore, and grains.

Understanding long tons is important for international trade and shipping, as different countries may use varying units of measurement. It helps ensure accuracy in transactions and logistics operations, particularly when dealing with goods that are traded globally and require precise measurement in tons.
