Convert Stones to Ounces

The Stone (symbol: st) is a unit of weight & mass. A British imperial unit of mass equal to exactly 14 pounds (= 6.35029318 kilograms per NIST SP 811). The stone is still the everyday unit for personal body weight in the United Kingdom and Ireland — colloquial usage routinely says 'I weigh 12 stone' rather than 168 pounds or 76 kilograms — and British bathroom scales typically display stones and pounds (e.g., '11 st 8 lb') as the primary scale alongside kilograms. Officially abolished from UK commerce in 1985 under the Weights and Measures Act amendments, the stone nonetheless remains cultural shorthand in British medical charts, GP consultations, fitness and weight-loss programs, and casual conversation about weight. Equine and livestock weights in Britain and Ireland are also still sometimes quoted in stones at agricultural auctions and equestrian weighing. Reference values: average UK adult male body weight ~12 st 5 lb (78 kg), average UK adult female ~11 st 2 lb (70 kg) per ONS Health Survey England. Convert stones to kg by multiplying by 6.350; to lb by multiplying by 14.

Stones are commonly used in cooking, shipping, fitness, and scientific research.

The Ounce (symbol: oz) is a unit of weight & mass. An imperial unit of mass equal to exactly 1/16 of an avoirdupois pound = 28.349523125 g per NIST SP 811. The avoirdupois ounce is the everyday US small-mass unit for: food portion sizes per FDA 21 CFR 101.9 + USDA Food Patterns (typical protein serving 3 oz cooked meat; 1 oz cheese; 1 oz nuts; 8 oz cup of liquid; lean meat lean 3-4 oz recommended per meal), American cookbook ingredient measurements (1 tablespoon = 0.5 fl oz volume but the 'oz' in 'oz of flour' is mass = 28.35 g), boxing glove weights per Boxing Association rules (typical 8-10 oz pro-boxing; 12-16 oz training-bag), postal rates per USPS (Domestic First-Class up to 13 oz, then Priority Mail rates; international First-Class up to 4 lb in oz increments), and chocolate-bar + nut + cereal-product labeling. Reference values: 1 stick of US butter = 4 oz = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons; an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max ~7.8 oz; a US baseball regulation 5-5¼ oz per MLB rule 3.01. CRITICAL: distinct from troy ounce (~31.103 g, used exclusively for precious metals — 1 troy oz Au differs from 1 avoirdupois oz Au by ~10%, a common confusion when comparing gold quotes to grocery scales). Convert avoirdupois oz to grams by multiplying by 28.349; to troy oz by dividing by 1.097.

It belongs to the imperial measurement system.
