Weight Converter: kg to Pounds and Stone
Body weight is quoted in kilograms in most countries, in pounds in the US, and in stone and pounds in the UK and Ireland. One kilogram is 2.2046 pounds, and one stone is 14 pounds or 6.35 kg. So 70 kg is 154.3 lb, or 11 stone 0 lb; 180 lb is 81.6 kg, or 12 st 12 lb. The converter accepts any of the three units and shows the other two, with stone split into whole stone plus remaining pounds as it is normally spoken.
Weight conversions come up in clothing size guides that list weight ranges, in luggage allowances (23 kg is 50.7 lb), gym equipment labelled in pounds, and medical dosing. For clothing, weight is a weak guide compared with chest and waist, but combined with height it narrows the size for stretch garments like leggings and compression wear. The reference table below covers 40 kg to 150 kg in 1 kg steps with pounds and stone.
Result: — kg
