Use it only when the source record uses that definition.
Why This Conversion Matters
This pair is useful when a mass record uses stone and another record uses a different unit. Convert mixed stone-and-pound notation before entering a decimal value. Exact unit relationships: 1 st = 14 lb; 1 ton = 2,000 lb. The calculator uses the full stored factor and rounds displayed results to 12 significant digits. Display precision is not a guarantee of measurement accuracy.
