US Ton (tn)
Definition: Also called the short ton; equal to 2,000 pounds, or 907.18474 kilograms.
History: Developed in the United States as a round-number multiple of the avoirdupois pound (2,000 lb) for convenience in trade and industry, diverging from the British long ton of 2,240 pounds that had been used in the same avoirdupois tradition.
Current use: The standard "ton" in US commerce, shipping weight limits, and industrial measurement — frequently confused with the metric tonne (1,000 kg ≈ 2,204.6 lb), which is about 10% heavier.
Stone (st)
Definition: Equal to 14 pounds, or exactly 6.35029318 kilograms.
History: Originated in medieval England and Scotland from the practice of weighing goods, particularly wool, against a standardized stone; the value varied by region and commodity (wool, meat, cheese) until it was fixed by statute at 14 pounds in the 19th century.
Current use: Still the everyday unit for reporting adult body weight in the United Kingdom and Ireland (e.g. "12 stone 6"), though it has no official role in trade, which uses metric units.

How Weight Conversion Works
The Formula
Every unit here is defined by a fixed multiplier relative to the kilogram. To convert a value from one unit to another:
result = value × (factor of "From" unit ÷ factor of "To" unit)
For US Ton → Stone: multiply by 142.85714. For example, 1 tn × 142.85714 = 142.85714 st.
Weight vs. Mass
Strictly speaking, mass measures the amount of matter in an object, while weight measures the force gravity exerts on that mass — an object's mass stays the same on the Moon, but its weight (in newtons) drops to about one-sixth of its Earth value. In everyday language and on this page, "weight" and "mass" are used interchangeably, as they are in commerce and daily life, because all the units here (kilogram, pound, ounce, and so on) are technically units of mass measured under standard Earth gravity.
Metric vs. Avoirdupois
The metric units on this page (milligram through metric ton) all scale by powers of ten, so converting between them is just moving a decimal point. The avoirdupois system (ounce, pound, stone, US ton, long ton) uses irregular multiples — 16 ounces to a pound, 14 pounds to a stone, 2,000 pounds to a US ton — inherited from centuries of English trade custom that predate the metric system.
Metric Tonne vs. US Ton vs. Long Ton
These three "ton" units are often confused but are meaningfully different: a metric ton (tonne) is exactly 1,000 kg (≈2,204.6 lb), a US or "short" ton is 2,000 lb (≈907.2 kg), and a British or "long" ton is 2,240 lb (≈1,016.0 kg). The metric tonne sits between the two — about 10% heavier than a US ton and about 1.6% lighter than a long ton — which makes it easy to misquote freight or cargo weights if the unit isn't specified explicitly.
Example
1 tn equals 142.85714 st. For scale, that's about 12.96× the weight of an average adult (70 kg, or 0.077161792 tn).
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Stone are in 1 US Ton?
1 US Ton (tn) equals exactly 142.85714 Stone (st).
What is the difference between a US ton and a metric ton?
A US (short) ton is 2,000 pounds (907.18 kg), while a metric ton (tonne) is exactly 1,000 kg (about 2,204.6 lb) — the metric ton is roughly 10% heavier, so the two should never be used interchangeably in shipping, trade, or engineering documents.
Why do the UK and Ireland measure body weight in stone?
Stone (14 lb) has been used informally for body weight in Britain and Ireland since the 19th century and remains common in everyday speech, medical settings, and sports reporting there, even though the UK officially uses the metric system for trade and most other measurements.
How accurate are these conversions?
Every conversion factor used here is the exact, internationally standardized value (e.g. 1 pound = exactly 0.45359237 kg, fixed by international agreement in 1959) — results are limited only by floating-point display precision, not by rounded conversion constants.
