My own dictionary lists the measurements as:

cheb = approximately 5 pounds (2.25kg)

cheb’a’ = approximately 45-46.4 pounds (20.4-21.05kg) (9-9.28 cheb)

Sources are MSN and the Bird of Prey poster.

Overall, Okrand has been a little vague about measurements; good enough to understand roughly how heavy a think is described by a Klingon, or roughly what to tell a Klingon that a thing weighs, but not enough for serious business exchanges, or for passing on grandma’s recipe for ro’qegh ‘Iwchab, unless grandma was vague and sloppy.

DloraH(?) had a page up that had a very nice conversion table all layed out. 

I can't seem to find it, though. 

Anyone else have the link?

Hello,

I know that {cheb} is defined as "roughly 5 lbs" in Okrand's Usenet
message. And the BoP poster mentions the weight of {cheb'a'} in the
following relationship:

375,000 cheb'a' = 8.7 KT

I remember reading that 1 {cheb'a'} might be 9 {cheb}, but no matter
what I calculate, I don't get it – so where's my error?
