About Metric Tons
A metric ton (t), also called a tonne, equals exactly 1,000 kilograms. It is the standard large mass unit in the international SI system, used worldwide for shipping, trade, agriculture, industry, and environmental monitoring. Global steel production, grain harvests, CO₂ emissions, shipping freight, and oil production are all reported in millions of metric tonnes. A standard TEU shipping container can carry up to approximately 28 metric tonnes of cargo. Carbon footprint calculators express emissions in CO₂ equivalent tonnes (tCO₂e).
About Stones
A stone (st) equals 14 pounds or approximately 6.350 kg. It is the standard unit for expressing human body weight in the United Kingdom and Ireland, where a person will say they weigh '11 stone 4' (meaning 11 stone and 4 pounds, or 158 lb / 71.7 kg). Despite the UK's official adoption of the metric system, stones remain the dominant unit for personal body weight on British bathroom scales, in doctors' offices, and in everyday conversation. British newspapers and sports reports routinely describe athletes' weights in stones and pounds.
