About Stones to Kilograms

Convert stones to kilograms instantly, with a reference table of common values. The factor is exact: 1 st = 6.35029318 kg.

Almost exclusively a British body-weight conversion โ€” turning a weight given in stones into the kilograms that medical records and gym equipment use.

The stone was fixed at 14 pounds by an English statute in 1389. Before standardisation it varied by trade and by commodity, with different stones used for wool, meat and glass. It is used almost exclusively in Britain and Ireland, and almost exclusively for body weight. British people commonly state their weight in stones and pounds while buying everything else in kilograms. A weight of 11 stone is 154 pounds, or about 70 kg.

Worked through with real numbers: 1 st is 6.35 kg, 5 st is 31.751 kg, 50 st is 317.515 kg.

As for the other side of the conversion: A litre of water weighs almost exactly 1 kg, which is not a coincidence โ€” the metric system was designed that way.

Strictly these are conversions of mass rather than weight โ€” mass is how much matter something contains, weight is the force gravity exerts on it. The distinction rarely matters on Earth, where the two are proportional, but it is why the same object masses the same on the Moon while weighing about a sixth as much.
