Frequently asked questions

How many pounds is one kilogram?
1 kg = 2.2046226 lb, and 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly. So an 80 kg person weighs about 176.4 lb. One ounce (oz) is 1/16 lb = 28.3495 g.
What is a stone in kg and pounds?
1 stone (st) = 14 lb = 6.35029318 kg. Body weight is often given in stone in the UK and Ireland — e.g. 11 st 4 lb is 11×14 + 4 = 158 lb ≈ 71.7 kg.
Is a US ton the same as a UK ton or a tonne?
No, all three differ. A tonne (metric ton) = 1000 kg. A US short ton = 2000 lb ≈ 907.185 kg. A UK long ton = 2240 lb ≈ 1016.05 kg. This tool lists all three so you can convert precisely.
What is a carat?
The metric carat (ct) is a mass unit for gemstones and pearls: 1 ct = 200 mg = 0.2 g exactly. Don't confuse it with karat (gold purity), which is not a mass at all.
