Stone (st)
Definition
A stone (st) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35029 kilograms.
History
The stone has been used as a weight measure in England and Ireland since at least the 14th century. Different commodities historically used different stone weights; the 14-pound stone was standardized in 1835 by the British Weights and Measures Act.
Current use
Stones are primarily used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to express body weight (e.g., '11 stone 4 pounds'). They are not used in the United States or most other countries.
Ounces (oz)
Definition
An ounce (oz) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 1/16 of a pound or approximately 28.3495 grams. This refers to the avoirdupois ounce.
History
The ounce derives from the Latin 'uncia' meaning one-twelfth (of a Roman pound). The avoirdupois ounce (28.35 g) was standardized in medieval England and differs from the troy ounce (31.10 g) used for precious metals.
Current use
Ounces are widely used in the United States for food packaging, cooking recipes, postal rates, and product weights. They are also used informally in the UK for some food items.
