What is kilogram-force square second per meter?

It is a derived mass unit based on force multiplied by time squared divided by length, commonly used in legacy engineering contexts.

Where is the stone (UK) unit typically used?

Stone (UK) is mainly used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to express human body weight, as well as in some sports and traditional markets.

Can I use this conversion for scientific mass measurements?

No, because kilogram-force square second per meter is a force-derived unit and stone (UK) is a non-SI unit, this conversion is not standard for scientific purposes.
