Understanding Stone and Kilogram

Stone (st)

The stone (st) is a British imperial unit of mass equal to exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds or 6.35029318 kilograms. Used almost exclusively in the United Kingdom and Ireland for human body weight, it has no role in scientific, commercial, or international contexts. The stone is not an SI unit and was removed from official UK trade measurement in 1985, though it remains deeply embedded in everyday British culture.

Kilogram (kg)

The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass — one of seven fundamental units in the International System. Equal to exactly 1,000 grams, it is the foundation of weight measurement in science, medicine, engineering, and commerce worldwide. Uniquely among SI base units, the kilogram is named with a metric prefix ("kilo-" = 1,000).

History of the Stone

One of the oldest English weight units, the stone was referenced as early as the 13th century. Historically its value varied by commodity (8 lb for meat, 12 lb for hemp, 14 lb for wool, 16 lb for glass). King Edward III standardised the wool stone at 14 pounds in 1350, which became the universal English standard. The Weights and Measures Act 1835 formally defined the stone as 14 lb. EU harmonisation abolished the stone for trade in 1985.

Interesting fact: The world record heaviest person weighed 635 kg — exactly 100 stone, illustrating how the stone unit provides digestible reference points for large body weights. British people typically express their weight as, for example, "11 stone 4 pounds."

History of the Kilogram

Defined in 1795 by the French Revolutionary government as the mass of one cubic decimetre of distilled water at 4 °C. A platinum prototype (the Kilogramme des Archives) was created in 1799. From 1889 until 2019, the world's mass standard was the International Prototype Kilogram — a platinum-iridium cylinder stored in Sèvres, France. In 2019, the kilogram was redefined in terms of Planck's constant (h = 6.626 070 15 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s), eliminating the need for a physical artifact.

Interesting fact: The IPK and its official copies drifted apart by up to 50 micrograms over 130 years, motivating the 2019 redefinition. The kilogram is the only SI unit whose name starts with a prefix.
