Many versions of the pound existed in the past in the United Kingdom UK , and although the UK largely uses the International System of Units, pounds are still used within certain contexts, such as labelling of packaged foods by law the metric values must also be displayed.
The UK also often uses both pounds and stones when describing body weight, where a stone is comprised of 14 pounds. It is currently defined based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, h, which is equal to 6.
Even though the definition of the kilogram was changed in , the actual size of the unit remained the same. The changes were intended to improve the definitions of SI base units, not to actually change how the units are used throughout the world. SI is a system based on the meter-kilogram-second system of units rather than a centimeter-gram-second system. This is at least in part due to the inconsistencies and lack of coherence that can arise through use of centimeter-gram-second systems, such as those between the systems of electrostatic and electromagnetic units.
The pound is the name of a number of units of mass, all in the range of to grams. Most commonly, it refers to the avoirdupois pound g , divided into 16 avoirdupois ounces. See all conversions for pounds here.
The kilogram or kilogramme, symbol: kg is the SI base unit of mass. It is defined as being equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram. It is the only SI base unit that employs a prefix, and the only SI unit that is still defined in relation to an artifact rather than to a fundamental physical property. A kilogram is equivalent to 2.
