What is a Stone and a Microgram?
The stone (st) is a unit of mass in the British imperial system, defined as exactly 14 avoirdupois pounds. This is equivalent to approximately 6.35 kilograms.
A microgram is a unit of mass in the metric system equal to one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram, or one thousandth (1/1,000) of a milligram. It is often denoted by the symbol µg.
Note: The Stone is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Microgram belongs to the metric (SI) system.
History of the Stone and Microgram
The stone has historical roots in trade, where actual stones were used as weights. Its value varied significantly by commodity and region before being standardized at 14 pounds in Britain for general purposes.
The microgram is derived from the gram, a base unit in early metric systems defined in the late 18th century. The prefix "micro-" indicates a factor of 10⁻⁶.
