What this tool does
Everyday language calls it weight; physics calls it mass. This converter handles mass, which is what a scale actually reports. Watch out for the two tons: a US short ton is 907.18 kg while a UK long ton is 1016.05 kg, and the metric tonne is 1000 kg exactly. The pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg, which is where every other imperial mass unit comes from.

One value per line. The units above are used for every line.
Limitations
- US and imperial (UK) units with the same name are not the same size. Check which system your figures come from.
- The calculation runs at full precision and only the display is rounded. If you copy an intermediate value and retype it, small differences can appear.
