About these units
Gram (g)
The gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram and is widely used in everyday life for measuring food, medicines, small components, and scientific samples. Its scale is convenient for objects too light to measure in kilograms yet too heavy for milligrams. Chemists, biologists, and lab technicians rely heavily on grams to quantify reagents, biological specimens, powders, and liquids. The gram appears frequently in nutrition labels, recipes, and manufacturing specifications. As a metric unit, the gram benefits from simplicity and ease of conversion—just move the decimal to reach milligrams or kilograms. Its intuitive scale makes it one of the most universally recognized units in the world.
Stone (US) (st (US))
The US stone was an informal and nonstandardized unit occasionally used in the 19th century, with no single agreed-upon value. Unlike the British stone (14 pounds), the US stone varied regionally and by trade context, typically ranging from 12 to 16 pounds, depending on the commodity and location. Farmers, butchers, and merchants sometimes used stones to weigh produce, meat, or livestock, but the lack of uniform regulation prevented it from becoming an official or widely adopted unit. Today, the US stone is entirely obsolete, but references to it appear in historical American trade documents, agricultural records, and pre-standardization weight systems. It serves as a reminder of the diversity of early American measurements before the widespread adoption of the avoirdupois pound.
