Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (catty [China]) The catty [China] is a weight unit of the colonial period in East and Southeast Asia, originating as the kati in Malaya. The catty varied a little from market to market. Typically it was equal to about 4/3 pound avoirdupois (604.79 grams), and it is still equal to that weight in Malaysia. In China, the catty was identified with the jin, a traditional Chinese unit. Unit Definition (quarter (ton) [US]) The quarter (ton) [US] is a traditional unit of weight equal to 1/4 hundredweight. In the U.S., "quarter" is also used informally to mean 1/4 ton, or 500 pounds (226.80 kilograms).
