1 Quintal = 100 kilograms
How to convert quintal to kilograms?
To convert from quintals to kilograms, multiply the number of quintals by 100 because one quintal equals 100 kilograms. This conversion ensures accurate scaling for weight measurements in agricultural and commercial contexts.
Conversion formula
Kilograms (kg) = Quintal (q) × 100
About Quintal
The quintal is a traditional unit of mass that originated in the medieval Mediterranean region, historically used as a standardized measure in trade and agriculture. Derived from the Latin word centenarium—meaning "containing a hundred"—the quintal was initially equivalent to 100 Roman pounds.
Over centuries, its exact weight has varied depending on regional standards, but in the modern metric system, a quintal is universally recognized as 100 kilograms.
The quintal remains in use in many countries, including India, Pakistan, and parts of Europe, particularly in the agricultural and commodities sectors. It is a convenient unit for expressing the mass of bulk goods like grains, produce, or industrial materials. Despite its historical roots, the quintal continues to play a crucial role in the trade and transportation of large quantities of goods, providing a straightforward alternative to the metric ton in smaller-scale or localized markets.

About kilogram
The kilogram is the fundamental unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the mass of a specific platinum-iridium alloy cylinder known as the International Prototype of the Kilogram, which was created in 1889 and maintained in Sèvres, France.
Its origin lies in the French Revolution, when the metric system was devised to provide a universal standard based on natural constants, ensuring fairness and accuracy in trade and science. As of 2019, the kilogram's definition was refined to be based on the Planck constant, a fundamental constant of quantum physics, enhancing its precision and universality.
The kilogram is employed globally in scientific research, engineering, industry, and daily life for measuring everything from groceries to scientific samples. Its consistency and reproducibility make it an essential unit for international commerce, trade, and scientific advancement, embodying the principles of measurement integrity and global cooperation.
