Understanding Mass & Weight Units
Mass measures the amount of matter in an object, whereas weight measures gravitational force. Our tools convert across all primary unit systems:
- Kilograms (kg) & Grams (g): The international metric standards (1 kg = 1,000 grams). 1 kg is defined relative to fundamental physical constants.
- Pounds (lbs) & Ounces (oz): Standard imperial units (1 lb = 16 oz = 0.45359237 kg). Widely used across consumer goods and health metrics in North America.
- Stone (st): Traditional British weight unit (1 stone = 14 lbs = 6.35029 kg), commonly used for body weight measurement in the UK and Ireland.
- Metric Tons (t / Tonnes): Used for heavy freight, industrial machinery, and agricultural bulk (1 metric ton = 1,000 kg = 2,204.62 lbs).
