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.
UK Tons (long ton)

History
The long ton originated in the English system of weights and was standardized as 2,240 pounds. It was widely used in British commerce, shipping, and mining before metrication. The name 'long ton' distinguishes it from the US short ton.
Current use
Long tons are rarely used today but may appear in British shipping documents, historical mining records, and some naval displacement specifications. Most UK industries now use metric tons.
