Units explained
Stone (US)
A less common US definition of the stone, about 5.67 kilograms.
A variant stone weight used in some historical US trade.
Rare; appears mainly in historical or specialized contexts.
Derived from older English stone weights that varied by commodity.
Metric Ton
The metric ton (t) equals exactly 1,000 kilograms; it is also called the tonne.
From 'tun', a large medieval cask; 'metric' distinguishes it from imperial tons.
The global standard for trade, freight, and heavy industry.
Recognized internationally with the spread of the metric system in the late 19th century.

Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 st to t:
1 × 0.0056699046 = 0.0056699046 t
Example 2 — Convert 100 st to t:
100 × 0.0056699046 = 0.5669904625 t
Real-world example — Imperial mile arithmetic
5,280 stones (us) equals exactly one metric ton. American hikers tracking elevation gain in the smaller unit but trail length in the larger one use this constant every time they read a topographic map.
5280 st × 0.0056699046 = 29.93709642 t
Real-world example — Imperial yard-to-mile scale
1,760 stones (us) equals exactly one metric ton. American athletes and surveyors use this conversion to translate distances quoted in the smaller imperial unit into recognizable fractions of the larger geographic one.
1760 st × 0.0056699046 = 9.97903214 t
Real-world example — Metric distance scale-up
One thousand stones (us) equals one metric ton — the running distance for a 1K race or the standard metric kilometre-scale step. The simple thousand-fold conversion is the most-used metric distance translation.
1000 st × 0.0056699046 = 5.669904625 t
