What is a kiloton (metric)?

A kiloton (metric) is a mass unit equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms, mainly used to express very heavy weights.

What does stone (US) represent?

Stone (US) is a traditional mass unit equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kilograms, historically used for body weight and commodities.

Can I use this tool for explosive energy kiloton conversions?

No, this converter only applies when kiloton refers to mass, not kilotons of TNT equivalent energy.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion when handling extremely large mass values for industrial or archival purposes
Remember that stone (US) may be unfamiliar in U.S. contexts, so provide explanatory notes if needed
Avoid using this conversion for explosive energy kiloton references, as it only applies to mass

Limitations

Converting from kilotons to stone can result in very large numbers that may be difficult to interpret easily
The stone is rarely used in the U.S., potentially complicating understanding of the converted value
This conversion is invalid if kiloton is interpreted as a unit of energy rather than mass
