Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (quintal [Spanish]) The quintal [Spanish] is a traditional unit of weight in Spain. The Spanish quintal is 100 libras (about 46 kilograms or 101 pounds). Unit Definition (unze [Germany]) The unze is a traditional German weight unit, corresponding to the English ounce. The unze equals 1/16 pfund. Although the pfund has been assimilated into the metric system (as 500 grams), the unze is effectively obsolete. It varied in size from about 28 to 35 grams. The word comes directly from the Latin uncia; the plural is unzen.
