A dalton (Da) is a unit of mass equal to 1/12 the mass of a carbon-12 atom, used for expressing atomic and molecular masses.

How is the stone (UK) used?

The stone (UK) is an imperial unit equal to 14 pounds and is commonly used in the UK and Ireland to express body weight.

Why convert daltons to stones (UK)?

Converting daltons to stones helps provide perspective by relating atomic-scale masses to familiar human-scale weight units, mainly for educational and communication purposes.

Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass in stones (UK)

Key Features

Converts mass values from daltons to stones (UK)
Provides context for comparing microscopic atomic masses to human-scale weights
Simple and easy-to-use online interface
Supports scientific communication across different measurement scales

Examples

10 daltons is equal to 2.6148871444725e-27 stones (UK)
1000 daltons converts to 2.6148871444725e-25 stones (UK)

Common Use Cases

Reporting atomic and molecular masses in chemistry and physical chemistry
Expressing masses of proteins and peptides in biochemistry and proteomics
Describing monomer and oligomer masses in polymer science
Relating atomic scale masses to familiar human body weight units for educational purposes
Communicating body weights informally in the UK and Ireland

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter to gain perspective on the scale difference between atomic masses and everyday weight units
Remember that daltons are suited for microscopic measurements while stones (UK) are intended for human body weight
Consider the scientific notation for results due to extremely small values from conversion
Use this tool to supplement learning and scientific communication rather than practical weighing

Limitations

Dalton applies to atomic and molecular masses, while stone (UK) is a large-scale body weight unit, making direct conversions mostly theoretical
Conversion results are extremely small and typically expressed in scientific notation
Stone (UK) is a non-SI unit with limited use primarily in the UK and Ireland
Such conversions are generally not practical for everyday measurements
