What is the stone (US) unit used for?

Stone (US) is a traditional British unit of mass equal to 14 pounds commonly used in the UK and Ireland for body weight and historical agricultural records.

How many kilograms are in one stone (US)?

One stone (US) is exactly 6.35029318 kilograms.

When is the kiloton (metric) unit typically used?

Kiloton (metric) is used for describing very large masses like bulk shipments, ship displacement, and large natural or engineered objects.

Can kiloton (metric) refer to energy?

Yes, in nuclear weapon contexts, kiloton often denotes an energy equivalent of TNT but in this tool it strictly represents mass.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert weight values from the traditional stone (US) unit to the metric kiloton (kt). It is designed to help translate smaller customary units into much larger mass measurements typically used in industrial, scientific, and environmental applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in stone (US) that you want to convert
Select kiloton (metric) [kt] as the target unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent mass in kilotons
Use the conversion results for further industrial or scientific analysis

Key Features

Supports conversion between stone (US) and metric kiloton (kt)
Provides clear definition and context for each unit
Browser-based and easy to use without any installations
Useful for bulk materials, ship displacement, and large mass evaluations

Examples

Converting 10 stone (US) gives 0.00005669904625 kiloton (metric) [kt]
Converting 1000 stone (US) results in 0.005669904625 kiloton (metric) [kt]

Common Use Cases

Converting traditional human or livestock weight records into metric units
Estimating mass of large bulk shipments such as coal or ore in mining
Calculating displacement of large vessels in naval architecture
Assessing mass of natural features like icebergs or small asteroids

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion mainly for aggregated or scaled weight data due to large unit differences
Remember that kiloton here refers to a mass unit, not an energy equivalent
Verify the context of your data to ensure suitability for large scale mass measurements
Cross-check results when precise scientific or engineering accuracy is required

Limitations

Stone (US) is a relatively small and uncommon unit, limiting frequent use in many regions
Kiloton should not be confused with its use as an energy unit in nuclear contexts
Converting very small stone values to kiloton units may be impractical due to scale differences
