WHAT DOES SHORT HUNDREDWEIGHT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hundredweight

The hundredweight or centum weight is a unit of mass defined in terms of the pound. The definition used in Britain differs from that used in North America. The two are distinguished by the terms long hundredweight and short hundredweight: ▪ The long hundredweight is defined as 112 lb, which is equal to 50.802345 kg. This is the definition used in the imperial system. ▪ The short hundredweight is defined as 100 lb, which is equal to 45.359237 kg. This is the definition used in the US customary system. This is also the usual hundredweight in Canada. The short hundredweight is also called a cental, especially in places which normally use the long hundredweight. Under both conventions, there are twenty hundredweight in a ton, the long ton being 2,240 lb and the short ton being 2,000 lb.
