Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (quintal [French]) The quintal [French] is a traditional unit of weight in France. The traditional French quintal equaled 100 livres (48.95 kilograms or 107.9 pounds), but today the word "quintal" in France usually means a larger metric unit. Unit Definition (catty [Japan, Thailand]) The catty [Japan, Thailand] 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 Thailand, the catty is used now as a metric unit equal to exactly 600 grams (1.3228 pounds).
