Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (tonelada [Portugal]) The tonelada [Portugal] is a traditional weight unit of Portugal corresponding to the English and metric ton. The Portuguese tonelada, however, equals 1728 Portuguese libras or arratels; this is about 1748.6 pounds or 793.15 kilograms. 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.
