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.

Origin:

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.

Long Ton

The long ton (symbol lt) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries. It is equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016.05 kilograms. The long ton is part of the imperial system and is larger than both the short ton (used in the U.S.) and the metric ton.

Origin:

The long ton originated in medieval England as a standardized measure for trade, particularly for goods like coal and other bulk materials. It was defined as 20 long hundredweight, with each long hundredweight being 112 pounds. This measure became part of the British Imperial System in 1824 and has been widely used in maritime and industrial contexts, especially in the UK, before the metric system was more broadly adopted.
