📖 About Lbs to Stone
Imperial Metrology & UK Customary Standards
The Stone (st) is defined by British law as exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds (6.35029318 kg).
Primary Stone & Pound Equivalents
- 14 lbs: = 1 st 0 lbs = 1.00 st = 6.35 kg
- 100 lbs: = 7 st 2 lbs = 7.14 st = 45.36 kg
- 140 lbs: = 10 st 0 lbs = 10.00 st = 63.50 kg
- 150 lbs: = 10 st 10 lbs = 10.71 st = 68.04 kg
- 180 lbs: = 12 st 12 lbs = 12.86 st = 81.65 kg
- 200 lbs: = 14 st 4 lbs = 14.29 st = 90.72 kg
Equations
- Whole Stones = Pounds / 14
- Remaining Pounds = Pounds - (Whole Stones × 14)
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Mass / Weight to Convert (e.g. 150.0) and Conversion Direction — choose from Pounds to Stones (lbs → st / divide by 14), Stones to Pounds (st → lbs / multiply by 14). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.

Understanding Your Result
Unit conversion precision: round to the same number of significant figures as your original measurement. Converting 6 feet to meters gives 1.8288 m — but if your measurement was approximate (±1 inch), expressing more than 2 decimal places is false precision. For international trade and technical specifications, SI units (meters, kilograms, liters) are the standard. US customary units (feet, pounds, gallons) differ from Imperial UK units: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs. 1 UK gallon = 4.546 L.
