About This Conversion

Stones to pounds is a conversion the UK and Ireland still need daily, because body weight there is spoken in stones while medical charts, scales and US sources use pounds. One stone is exactly 14 pounds, a relationship fixed by an 1835 Act of Parliament.

Because the factor is a whole number, the arithmetic is easy but the notation is a trap. 11 stone 6 is not 11.6 stone; it is 160 lb, whereas 11.6 stone is 162.4 lb. Mixed stone-and-pound figures have to be split before converting.
