About the stone and the pound

The stone

The stone (st) equals exactly 14 pounds (about 6.35 kg). It is still widely used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to state body weight, even though it is no longer legal for trade. The stone was originally a real stone used by merchants as a counterweight on balances; its weight varied by region and trade until standardized in the late 19th century.

The pound

The international avoirdupois pound (lb) is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms since the 1959 international yard and pound agreement. It is the everyday unit for body weight, groceries, and shipping in the United States. Sixteen ounces make one pound; fourteen pounds make one stone in British usage.
