How weight conversion works

All units convert through kilograms, the SI base unit of mass. Each unit has one fixed factor (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly), so any pair converts in a single multiplication step with no chained rounding error.

Avoirdupois, troy and metric

Everyday weights use avoirdupois ounces and pounds. Precious metals use troy ounces (heavier: 31.1 g vs 28.35 g), and gemstones use carats (0.2 g). Stones are still common for body weight in the UK, equal to 14 pounds.
