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.
About Long Hundredweights

The standard hundredweight in the United Kingdom and much of its historical trading sphere, it reflects the medieval English stone of 14 lb (8 × 14 = 112). British agricultural commodity prices, wool trade records, and livestock market reports historically used long hundredweights. The UK meat trade still occasionally references hundredweights in wholesale pricing.
