Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (quartern-loaf) The quartern-loaf is a traditional English unit of weight for bread. A quartern-loaf is made from a quartern of flour. The finished loaf usually weighs somewhere between 4 and 5 pounds (very roughly 2 kilograms). Unit Definition (pond [Dutch]) The pond is the Dutch pound, historically about 494 grams (1.089 English pounds). This unit was also used in the former Dutch Indies (now Indonesia) and throughout Southeast Asia. In the Netherlands, the pond has been reinterpreted now as a metric unit equal to exactly 500 grams (1.1023 pounds), like the German pfund.
