Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (zentner [Germany]) The zentner is a traditional German unit of weight or mass, comparable to the traditional quintal and to the English hundredweight. Similar units were used in Scandinavia. Originally the zentner was equal to 100 pfund, or German pounds. 100 pfund varied from 110 to as much as 120 pounds avoirdupois (49.9-54.4 kilograms), depending on the market. After the introduction of the metric system in Germany, the zentner was redefined to equal to exactly 50 kilograms, which is about 110.231 pounds. In English, the zentner is commonly spelled centner. Unit Definition (quintal [Portugal]) The quintal [Portugal] is a traditional unit of weight in Portugal. The Portuguese quintal is equal to 128 libras (about 129.5 pounds or 58.75 kilograms).
