FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert between metric and imperial weight units?
1 pound = 453.6 grams, 1 ounce = 28.35 grams, 1 stone = 6.35 kg. For quick estimation: divide pounds by 2.2 to get kg, or multiply kg by 2.2 to get pounds.
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter (measured in kilograms), which stays constant. Weight is the gravitational force on that mass (measured in newtons), which varies by location. In daily life, both terms are used interchangeably.
How precise is the conversion?
Conversion factors are based on official SI units or internationally accepted standards. Precision is at least four decimal places — sufficient for everyday, professional and academic use.
