About these units
Quarter (UK) (qr (UK))
The UK quarter, equal to 28 pounds, corresponds to 1/4 of a UK hundredweight. Historically used in grain trade, wool markets, and taxation, it reflects the older English approach to structuring weights around the stone. Its direct link to the long hundredweight made it easy for merchants to calculate loads and price goods. While obsolete today, the UK quarter remains important for historians reconstructing traditional British commerce and agricultural economies.
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.
