About these units
Gigagram (Gg)
A gigagram equals 1,000 megagrams, or one million kilograms. It is used in industrial-scale output, national food production statistics, and environmental assessments, such as annual emissions of pollutants. Governments and researchers analyzing natural resource consumption, waste management, or ecological footprints frequently rely on gigagram-level reporting. The Gg sits at the intersection of human-scale systems and planetary-scale studies, offering clarity for large quantities.
Hundredweight (US) (cwt (US))
The US hundredweight equals 100 pounds (45.359237 kg) and is used in agriculture, livestock markets, and commodity trading. Farmers often price hay, grain, and cattle by the hundredweight. The oil and chemical industries also use it for bulk goods. Its relation to the ton (20 cwt = 1 US ton) integrates it smoothly into the US customary system. Although it complicates international trade due to conflicting definitions with the UK version, the US hundredweight remains essential in domestic commerce.
