How the kilograms to ounces converter works
Mass converts through the kilogram. The avoirdupois pound has been exactly 0.45359237 kg since 1959, so an ounce is 28.349523125 g and a stone (14 lb) is 6.35029318 kg. A US short ton is 2,000 lb; an imperial long ton is 2,240 lb; a metric tonne is 1,000 kg.
Australia is fully metric under the National Measurement Act 1960; imperial units appear only in trade with the US and in older documents.
