per hundredweight

Cost per massexact by definition

Cost per hundredweight, the US hundredweight being exactly 100 pounds or 45.359237 kilograms. It is the pricing unit for milk, grain, livestock, fertiliser and bulk chemicals in North American agriculture and freight tariffs. The conversion is exact, since the pound is exactly defined.

Watch out: The British hundredweight is 112 pounds, eight stone, not 100. Both are abbreviated cwt, so a historical or UK source needs checking before its numbers are compared with North American ones.
