What is a stone (UK) used to measure?

Stone (UK) is an imperial unit of weight often used for expressing human body weight, especially in the UK and Ireland, as well as in some sports and traditional markets.

How many kilograms are in one stone (UK)?

One stone (UK) is exactly equal to 6.35029318 kilograms.

What is a metric ton (tonne)?

A metric ton, or tonne, is a unit of mass equivalent to exactly 1,000 kilograms, commonly used in shipping, industry, and environmental measurements.

What Is This Tool?

This converter tool helps you transform weight measurements from stone (UK), an informal imperial unit mostly used in the UK and Ireland, into metric tons (tonnes), which are standard units in many industrial and environmental fields.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the weight value in stone (UK) into the input field
Select stone (UK) as the source unit and ton (metric) [t] as the target unit
Click the convert button to see the corresponding weight in metric tons

Key Features

Converts stone (UK) to metric tons (tonne) easily and accurately
Supports weight conversions relevant to personal, industrial, and environmental contexts
Provides quick translation between traditional UK weight units and international metric standards

Examples

10 stone (UK) converts to approximately 0.063502932 ton (metric) [t]
50 stone (UK) translates to about 0.31751466 ton (metric) [t]

Common Use Cases

Translating personal body weight from stones and pounds to metric tons for international records
Calculating cargo weight in metric tons for shipping and freight logistics
Reporting industrial quantities and bulk commodities in standard metric units
Converting weights in agricultural markets from traditional UK units to metric tons
Quantifying large-scale environmental data such as carbon dioxide emissions in metric terms

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you enter weights in stone (UK) accurately to get precise metric ton conversions
Use this tool when working across contexts that require both informal UK units and formal metric measurements
Be aware that stone is usually for smaller masses, so large values may need careful consideration
Double-check conversions if you are applying them in critical industrial or environmental reporting

Limitations

Stone (UK) is primarily used for smaller weight measures and may not be ideal for very large mass conversions
Differences in magnitude between stone and metric ton can limit precision for very small or very large values
The informal and regional usage of stone may affect consistency in international communication
