Disclaimer
Unit conversions on this site use internationally recognized, fixed conversion factors (for example, 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg, 1 °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32). They are provided for general, informational, and educational use. For applications where accuracy is critical — such as medical dosing, engineering, scientific research, trade, or legal compliance — always verify results against authoritative sources such as the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the official International System of Units (SI) brochure, and follow any applicable local standards.
Exact Constants & Authoritative Sources
Every conversion on this page uses the fixed, internationally agreed constants below — drawn from NIST and the SI Brochure. No values are estimated or rounded as if exact. See the full list on our Sources & Standards page.
- EXACT1 pound (lb, avoirdupois) = 0.45359237 kilograms (exact)

Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
Mass vs. weight
The pound and kilogram are units of MASS, not force. On Earth, mass and "weight" read the same number in practice, but a 70 kg mass weighs less on the Moon. UnitFig converts mass; for scientific force you need newtons (1 lbf = 4.4482216152605 N, exact).
Avoirdupois vs. troy ounce
Cooking and body weight use the avoirdupois ounce (28.349523125 g). Gold and precious metals use the troy ounce (31.1034768 g). Never mix them — the error is about 10%.
Rounding the factor
Using 2.2 instead of the exact 2.20462262 overstates small errors at large values. For medical dosing or competition weight classes, keep the full factor or use a converter.
A unit-conversion reference site has no manufacturer-specific or device calibration parameters, so "layered tuning" does not apply here. The only real error-handling is input validation: the converter rejects non-numeric, empty, or out-of-range entries and shows a clear message, then falls back to exact constants above. No estimated or rounded figures are ever presented as exact.
