ton = st × 0.00714286One stone equals 14 pounds, and since a US short ton is 2000 pounds, one stone is about 0.714% of a short ton — roughly 1/140. This conversion is essentially never needed in practice since stone is UK-specific and short tons are US-specific. The only crossover might be historical documents comparing UK and US weights.
