What Is It and When Do You Need It?
Mass measures how much matter an object contains. The kilogram is the SI base unit, pounds and ounces are common in the US, stones are used for body weight in the UK, and troy ounces are used for gold and silver.
This converter handles 13 units for kilogram and shows the result in all of them at once, so you rarely need a second lookup.

How the Calculation Works
Every unit is stored as a multiple of one reference unit (the kilogram). To convert, the value is multiplied into the reference unit and then divided by the size of the target unit. All factors are exact or taken from standard definitions, and results show up to ten significant digits.
