About weight and mass conversion

Weight units mix metric mass (kilograms, grams, metric tons) with imperial and US customary units (pounds, ounces, stone, US tons). Body weight is reported in stone in the UK, pounds in the US, and kilograms almost everywhere else, which makes mistakes common when reading fitness, medical or shipping figures from a different country.

This converter routes every value through kilograms as its base unit, using the exact international avoirdupois pound: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly. From there, 1 ounce = 1/16 lb = 28.349523125 g, 1 stone = 14 lb = 6.35029318 kg, 1 US (short) ton = 2,000 lb = 907.18474 kg, and 1 metric ton = 1,000 kg exactly.

Stone for body weight

One stone is 14 pounds (about 6.35 kg) and is the everyday unit for adult body weight in the UK and Ireland.

US ton vs metric ton

A US short ton (2,000 lb, 907.18 kg) is about 10% lighter than a metric tonne (1,000 kg, 2,204.62 lb).

Ounces in cooking and post

Ounces appear both for food weight (28.35 g each) and for postal weight limits — always the same avoirdupois ounce here.

Weight vs cooking volume

Converting a cooking volume like a cup into grams also depends on the ingredient's density, which is outside plain mass conversion.
