Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (carat [UK]) The carat [UK] is a unit of mass used for diamonds and other precious stones. In the U. S. and Britian, the diamond carat was formerly defined by law to be 3.2 troy grains, which is about 207 milligrams. 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.
