Stone (Uk)

A stone (st) is a British unit of weight equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used for measuring body weight.

History/Origin

The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a practical unit of weight for trade and commerce. Its use has persisted in the UK for measuring human body weight, despite the metric system's adoption elsewhere.

Current Use

Today, the stone is still commonly used in the UK and Ireland for personal weight measurement, especially in the context of health and fitness, although it is largely replaced by kilograms in official and international contexts.


Decigram

A decigram (dg) is a unit of mass equal to one-tenth of a gram, or 0.1 grams.

History/Origin

The decigram is part of the metric system, which was developed in France in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It has been used primarily in scientific and technical contexts to provide precise mass measurements.

Current Use

Decigrams are used in scientific, laboratory, and nutritional contexts where small mass measurements are required, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
