I keep seeing references to quintals, particularly in wine production. Italy seems fond of using them. A quintal turns out to be defined as 100 kg.
I also see hectolitres used. When these units get combined with hectare denominators, they are a long way off SI. If I understand it correctly: 1 quintals per hectare = 100 kg per hectare = 10 g per square metre 1 hectolitre per hectare = 100 litre per hectare = 10 cubic metre per square kilometre See: http://www.consorziobrunellodimontalcino.it/faq_ing.htm -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
