Kilogram Weight Conversion Chart

Kilogram Weight Conversion Chart
We have all been subjected to the weight conversion system at one point in our lives especially when it comes to personal weight. Converting weight can be confusing; and if you don't know the rate at which one unit of weight converts to the other, you will not be able to track your weight properly as the figures will not be accurate. Here is some help about weight conversations.



The SI unit of measuring weight is the kilogram. Most of us in the United States are used to pounds as the standard measurement of body weight and commercial measurement of weight. Many jurisdictions are used to kilograms as a standard for measuring weight. Other unites used to measure weight are stones, tons slugs, grains and carats. A ton is the largest measurement of weight as it equal to one thousand kilograms. The units that are used in regard to body weight are kilograms, pounds and stones.



The grain was used to measure precious metals and is equivalent to 0.2 grams. The carat was used to measure gemstones and precious metals as well. The stone and the tone are units that originated in Britain. One kilogram is equivalent to one thousand grams. 437 grams is one pound meaning that a pound is almost half a kilogram. One stone is the same as 14 pounds or 6.118 kilograms. You can use this as a conversion scale to measure different weights in different units. This will help you to make your conversions even if your scale does not record the units you are used to.
