How to use this converter
Enter the source measurement in the first field. CalUnit applies the displayed formula and updates the destination value immediately.

When this conversion is useful
Airlines and shipping services may publish limits in either kilograms or pounds. Leave a safety margin instead of rounding a borderline value downward.
Accuracy and rounding
The pound definition is exact. Everyday displays can use two decimal places, while shipping and scientific records should follow the precision of the scale used.
Standards references
CalUnit checks physical unit relationships against authoritative measurement references. See the NIST Guide to the SI conversion factors and the BIPM SI Brochure. Regional cooking measures and digital storage conventions are identified separately because their names can represent more than one definition.
