Complete Guide to Weight & Mass Conversions in Sweden (lb to kg, oz to g, st to kg, tons to kg)

1. Pounds to Kilograms (lb → kg)

Formula:

$$\text{kg}=\text{lb}\times 0.453592$$

Example (Sweden):
A Swedish recipe calls for 1 lb of flour (common in older cookbooks). Convert to kg:

$$1\text{lb}\times 0.453592=0.45\text{kg}(\text{or}450\text{g})$$

Reverse (kg → lb):

$$\text{lb}=\text{kg}\times 2.20462$$

Example: A 5 kg bag of potatoes in a Swedish supermarket:

$$5\text{kg}\times 2.20462=11.02\text{lb}$$

2. Ounces to Grams (oz → g)

Formula:

$$\text{g}=\text{oz}\times 28.3495$$

Example (Sweden):
A baby’s weight is 7 oz at birth (used in some medical contexts):

$$7\text{oz}\times 28.3495=198.45\text{g}$$

Reverse (g → oz):

$$\text{oz}=\text{g}\times 0.035274$$

Example: A 100 g chocolate bar (common in Sweden):

$$100\text{g}\times 0.035274=3.53\text{oz}$$

3. Stone to Kilograms (st → kg)

Formula:

$$\text{kg}=\text{st}\times 6.35029$$

Example (Sweden):
A British tourist says they weigh 12 stone:

$$12\text{st}\times 6.35029=76.2\text{kg}$$

Reverse (kg → st):

$$\text{st}=\text{kg}\times 0.157473$$

Example: A Swede weighs 80 kg:

$$80\text{kg}\times 0.157473=12.6\text{st}$$

4. US Tons to Kilograms (US ton → kg)

Formula:

$$\text{kg}=\text{US ton}\times 907.185$$

Example (Sweden):
An American car weighs 2 US tons:

$$2\text{US tons}\times 907.185=1,814.37\text{kg}$$

Metric Ton (Tonnes) to kg:

$$1\text{tonne}=1,000\text{kg}$$

Example: A Swedish truck carries 3 tonnes of goods:

$$3\text{tonnes}\times 1,000=3,000\text{kg}$$

Practical Swedish Context:

• Food Packaging:

  • "500 g köttfärs" (minced meat) ≈ 1.1 lb or 0.5 kg.

  • "1 kg potatis" (potatoes) ≈ 2.2 lb.

• Body Weight:

  • Swedes measure weight in kg (e.g., "Jag väger 70 kg" = "I weigh 154 lb").

• Shipping/Cargo:

  • Weight limits in Sweden use kg or tonnes (e.g., "Maxlast 2,500 kg").
