Convert Gram to Stone (US)
Gram
The gram (g) is a unit of mass in the metric system, and it is equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram (0.001 kg). Since the kilogram is the SI base unit of mass defined by the Planck constant (h), the gram is indirectly defined by the same constant. This modern definition ensures the gram's precision and stability as part of the International System of Units (SI).
The gram was introduced in 1795 during the French Revolution as part of the metric system's creation. Originally, it was defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water at its maximum density (approximately 4°C). This practical link to water made it a convenient and universal reference. The gram served as a base unit of mass in early metric systems, but in 1889, the kilogram was adopted as the primary standard, making the gram a derived unit equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram.
Stone (US)
The stone (st) is a unit of mass traditionally used in the UK and Ireland, but in the United States, it is less common. In the U.S., the stone is defined as 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kilograms. It is still used informally in some contexts, particularly in reference to body weight.
The stone as a unit of mass has roots dating back to ancient times, where it was used in various cultures for weighing goods, with the weight of a stone varying by country and commodity. In the UK, the stone was historically used to measure items like wool, and the weight of the stone varied (ranging from 5 to 30 pounds) based on the goods being measured. The U.S. adopted a 14-pound stone in the 19th century, primarily as a way to measure body weight, though it is now largely replaced by the pound for more precise measurements. The 14-pound stone is still used informally in some areas, especially in the context of body weight.
