Common mistakes
- ✕The pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg; the reciprocal shown for kg to lb is rounded for display.
- ✕Confusing pounds (lb) with pound-force or with the British stone (1 st = 14 lb).
- ✕Rounding too aggressively — 1 lb = 0.4536 kg, not 0.45 kg; the error compounds on large weights.
- ✕Using US "cups" for solid weight — cups are a volume unit, not a mass unit.
- ✕Short ton, long ton and tonne are three different units. A US short ton is 2000 lb = 907.18474 kg. A UK long ton is 2240 lb = 1016.0469088 kg. A metric tonne is 1000 kg. Freight and commodity figures are wrong by up to 12% if these are mixed up.
Regional usage & source
Kilograms and grams are the global standard for mass. Pounds and ounces remain common in the US. The UK still uses stone (1 st = 14 lb) for body weight in everyday speech.
Reference: 1 pound (avoirdupois) = exactly 0.45359237 kilograms per the 1959 international yard and pound agreement (NIST Handbook 44).
