What is a stone (UK)?

A stone (UK) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or about 6.35029318 kilograms, commonly used in the UK and Ireland for expressing body weight.

What is a kip used for?

A kip is a U.S. customary engineering unit equal to 1,000 pounds-force, used to express large forces and loads in structural, geotechnical, and civil engineering.

Can I convert body weight from stone directly to kip?

While possible, converting body weight from stone to kip is uncommon because stone measures mass and kip measures force, and the kip is generally used for large engineering loads.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate values from stone (UK), a traditional mass unit primarily used in the UK and Ireland for body weight and other contexts, to kip, a U.S. customary engineering unit of force often used in structural and civil engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the weight value in stone (UK)
Select stone (UK) as the from unit and kip as the to unit
Click convert to see the equivalent force value in kip
Use the result for engineering or conversion purposes as needed

Key Features

Converts stone (UK) values to kip instantly
Supports translation between a traditional imperial mass unit and a U.S. engineering force unit
Useful for structural load and force-related calculations
Simple and easy-to-use interface

Examples

10 stone (UK) converts to 0.14 kip
50 stone (UK) converts to 0.7 kip

Common Use Cases

Converting body weights expressed in stone to force units for engineering analysis
Translating weights in traditional units for structural load calculations in civil engineering
Helping professionals in construction and geotechnical fields interpret and use mass-to-force conversions

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure context is appropriate since stone is a mass unit and kip is a force unit
Use conversions primarily for structural or engineering load interpretations
Be aware that the stone unit is informal and mainly regional
Understand that converting personal body weight into kip is uncommon and mainly for specialized purposes

Limitations

Stone is a mass unit, while kip primarily quantifies force, so direct conversions assume gravitational context
Converting small masses such as personal body weight to kip may not be standard practice
Stone is an informal, regional unit and conversions may not be widely applicable
Kip is mainly used for large forces in engineering, limiting relevance for general mass conversions
