Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (vagon [Yugoslavia]) The vagon is a traditional unit of mass or weight in countries of the former Yugoslavia. Originally considered to be the weight that could be carried by a wagon, the unit has been "metrized" and is now defined to be equal to the dekatonne, that is, 10 metric tons or 22 046.23 pounds avoirdupois. Unit Definition (tan [China]) The tan is a traditional Chinese weight unit, now spelled dan in English transliteration. During the European colonial era the tan was equal to 100 cattys or 1600 taels. This is equivalent to 133.333 pounds, making the tan comparable to the European quintal as a commercial weight unit. In modern China the tan, or rather the dan, is equal to 100 jin, which is exactly 50 kilograms (110.231 pounds).
