About the Weight Converter
Kilograms to pounds and back is the conversion most people actually want, so that pair is already selected when the page opens. Beyond it you get grams, milligrams, micrograms, tonnes, ounces, stones, grains, carats and both the American and British ton, which covers gym logs, luggage limits, recipes and freight paperwork.
Stones deserve a mention because they survive mainly in British body weight. One stone is 14 pounds, or 6.35029318 kilograms, so 11 stone 4 pounds comes to 158 pounds and about 71.7 kilograms. Enter the total in pounds rather than a stone and pound pair, since each line is read as a single number.
Every line you paste is converted independently, so a whole column of package weights can be handled in one pass. The output prints the multiplier that was applied along with a small reference table, which is useful when you want a rough check rather than blind trust. The physics distinction between force and quantity of matter is explained on the Mass Converter, which shares the same units.
