US Ton
A US ton — also called a short ton — is a large weight unit commonly used in shipping, construction, and industrial supply. One US ton equals 2,000 pounds or about 907.18 kilograms. It is useful for measuring heavy loads such as vehicles, building materials, and bulk goods.
The US ton differs from the metric ton used in most countries, which can lead to confusion without proper conversion. A converter ensures accurate interpretation when dealing with global trade or engineering data.
Stone
A stone (st) is a unit of weight used primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland, especially for measuring body weight. One stone equals 14 pounds, or roughly 6.35 kilograms. Because it provides a convenient number for typical human weights, stones remain popular in health, sports, and everyday conversations.
Although stones are not used in the metric system or the United States, conversions are often needed for travel, fitness tracking apps, or international communication. A converter helps provide a quick translation to pounds or kilograms.
