How mass & weight conversion works

Mass conversions are anchored to the kilogram. The international avoirdupois pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so common kg↔lb conversions are deterministic rather than estimated.

The interactive calculator, reference table and indexed pair pages all read from the same conversion registry, so unit definitions and formulas stay synchronized.
