Unit Definition (bag [portland cement])
The bag [portland cement] is a unit of weight for cement. Traditionally a bag of portland cement weighs 94 pounds (42.6 kilograms) in the US. and 87.5 pounds (39.7 kilograms) in Canada. However, cement is now being sold also in metric-sized bags of 50 kilograms (110.2 pounds) by many suppliers.

Unit Definition (cental)
The cental is an alternate name in Britain for the U.S. hundredweight, which is equal to exactly 100 pounds (the British hundredweight is 112 pounds). Introduced by British merchants around 1850, the name was apparently coined after the model of the quintal. The cental has sometimes been confused with the centner.
