Usage notes

This template is intended to allow entry of imperial weights (Avoirdupois), measured in hundredweights, quarters, and pounds (cwt,qtr,lb) and provide a conversion into pounds and kilograms. The cwt used are long hundredweights.

This format is traditional for the specification of bells cast or used in the UK. See Dove's Bellringers' Guide.

Syntax

  • {{CwtQtrLb to kg| number of cwt | number of qtr | number of lbs }}
  • {{CwtQtrLb to kg| number of cwt | number of qtr | number of lbs | lk=on }}
to link "cwt" to Avoirdupois#British adaptation.

Example

For example:

  • The tenor weighs {{CwtQtrLb to kg|21|2|12}}.
gives: "The tenor weighs 21 cwt 2 qtr 12 lb (2,420 lb/1,098 kg)."
  • The other tenor weighs {{CwtQtrLb to kg|20|3|7|lk=on}}.
gives: "The other tenor weighs 20 cwt 3 qtr 7 lb (2,331 lb/1,057 kg)."
