Why Convert Stones to Kilograms?
Converting between stones (st) and kilograms (kg) is one of the most common mass conversions. Whether for engineering, cooking, travel, or science, knowing how to quickly convert st to kg saves time and prevents errors.
Mass conversions between st and kg come up constantly in everyday life. International travelers need to convert luggage weight limits — airlines typically allow 23 kg (≈50.7 lb) for checked bags and 7-10 kg for carry-on. In fitness, gym equipment in the US uses pounds while most of the world uses kilograms. Cooking recipes from different countries require converting between grams, ounces, and pounds for accurate measurements.
How to Convert Stones to Kilograms
To convert stones to kilograms, use the following formula:
kg = st × 6.35029318
Example: 1 st = 6.35029318 kg
For example, 5 st = 31.7514659 kg, 10 st = 63.5029318 kg, and 100 st = 635.029318 kg. Our calculator above performs this conversion instantly with full precision — no rounding errors.
Common Use Cases
- 10 stone (healthy weight benchmark UK): 10 st = 63.5029318 kg
- 12 stone (average UK male): 12 st = 76.20351816 kg
- 9 stone (petite adult weight): 9 st = 57.15263862 kg
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Confusing mass and weight: In everyday use, "weight" and "mass" are interchangeable, but in science they differ. This converter handles mass units.
- Pound ambiguity: The avoirdupois pound (lb, used for everyday weight) differs from the troy pound (used for precious metals). This converter uses avoirdupois.
- Rounding errors in cooking: When converting st to kg for recipes, round to the nearest practical measurement (e.g., nearest 5g or ¼ oz).
Pro Tips
- Memorize the factor: 1 st = 6.35029318 kg. For quick mental math, remember this base conversion.
- Quick reference: 5 st = 31.7514659 kg · 10 st = 63.5029318 kg · 25 st = 158.7573295 kg · 50 st = 317.514659 kg · 100 st = 635.029318 kg
