when making quotations, the familiar terms "hundred weight" or "ton" should be avoided. A hundred weight can be 100 pounds of the short ton, or 112 pounds of the long ton. A ton canbe a short ton of 2000 pounds, or a metric ton of 2204.6 pounds, or a long ton of 2240 pounds. Hence, the type of hundred weight or ton should be clearly stated in quotations and in sales confirmations. Also, all terms referring to quantity, weight, volume, length, or surface should be clearly defined and agreed upon.
