History

Ounce (oz)

The ounce, symbol oz, is an imperial unit of mass derived from the Roman uncia, meaning “one-twelfth” of a pound. Standardized over centuries in England and later in the United States, one ounce is equivalent to 28.3495 grams. The ounce continues to be used for measuring food, postal items, and precious metals in regions employing imperial or US customary units. Its historical background and ongoing applications sustain its relevance alongside metric units.

Stone (st)

The stone (st) is a traditional British unit of mass, standardized as 14 pounds, which is roughly 6.35 kilograms. Its history dates back to medieval England, when stones of different weights were used as standards in trading. While most countries now use kilograms for official measurements, the stone is still frequently used in the UK and Ireland, especially to state a person’s body weight. Its ongoing use highlights both cultural tradition and the continued relevance of non-metric measures in everyday life.
