Occasional laboratory and pharmacy use.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Quarter (UK)
The UK quarter equals one-fourth of a long hundredweight, 28 pounds (about 12.7 kg).
A 'quarter' of the hundredweight in the British imperial system.
Historical British trade in coal, grain, and agricultural goods.
Defined within the imperial hundredweight system.

Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates
A 150-decigram plastic film converts cleanly to quarters (uk) — useful for packaging buyers reconciling supplier datasheets across metric and US measurement systems.
150 dg × 7.873652e-6 = 0.0011810478 qr
Real-world example — Hair-width scale measurements
A 70-decigram measurement (about the diameter of a human hair) is the kind of value materials engineers regularly express in adjacent micro-scale units like quarters (uk) for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.
70 dg × 7.873652e-6 = 0.0005511557 qr
Real-world example — Paper and film thicknesses
At the thickness of office paper (roughly 3 decigrams), converting between sub-millimeter units is routine for packaging and printing buyers comparing quotes from metric and US suppliers.
3 dg × 7.873652e-6 = 2.362096e-5 qr
