Convert Kiloton to Stone (US)
Kiloton
The kiloton (kt) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000,000 kilograms (1,000,000 kg) or 1,000 metric tons. It is used to measure very large masses, such as in industry and transportation.
The kiloton was introduced as part of the metric system to represent large quantities of mass. It is commonly used in fields like shipping, agriculture, and environmental science.
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.
