Exact conversion factors
This converter uses exact definitions, not rounded approximations: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly (the 1959 international avoirdupois pound), so 1 kg = 2.2046226218 lb and 1 oz (1/16 lb) = 28.349523125 g. 1 stone = 14 lb = 6.35029318 kg, the unit UK and Irish bathroom scales still show. Because the factors are exact, results stay accurate whether you convert 0.5 mg or 50,000 kg.
Korean traditional units: don, nyang, geun, gwan
Korean jewelers still price gold by the don (돈): 1 don = 3.75 g exactly, and 1 nyang (냥) = 10 don = 37.5 g. The confusing part is 근 (geun): meat and most goods use 1 geun = 16 nyang = 600 g, the modern legal standard at butcher shops, but produce and herbal medicine traditionally use a separate 10-nyang geun = 375 g. This converter lists them as two distinct units — "Geun, meat" and "Geun, produce/herbal" — so you never apply the wrong one. 1 gwan (관) = 1,000 don = 3.75 kg.
Frequently asked questions
How many pounds is 1 kg?
One kilogram equals exactly 2.2046226218 pounds, since 1 pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg.
How many kg is 1 stone?
One stone equals exactly 6.35029318 kg (14 pounds) — the unit still used for body weight in the UK and Ireland.
How many grams is 1 don (돈)?
One don is exactly 3.75 grams. It is the unit Korean jewelers use to price and weigh gold, with 1 nyang (냥) equal to 10 don, or 37.5 g.
Is 1 geun (근) always 600 grams?
No. Meat and most everyday goods use 1 geun = 600 g (16 nyang), the modern legal standard at Korean butcher shops, but produce and herbal medicine traditionally use a separate 1 geun = 375 g (10 nyang). This converter offers both as separate units so you pick the right one.
How many grams is 1 gwan (관)?
One gwan equals exactly 3,750 grams (3.75 kg), since 1 gwan is defined as 1,000 don.
Is this weight converter accurate?
Yes. It uses exact definitions (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg, 1 don = 3.75 g) rather than rounded approximations, and it is one of the few converters to separate the 600 g meat geun from the 375 g produce/herbal geun instead of only offering one.
