1 stone is 0.44 slug. One stone is exactly 0.435133302402 slugs.

One stone is 0.4351333 slugs. To convert stone to slugs, multiply by 0.4351333; to go the other way, divide by 0.4351333 or multiply by 2.2981463. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. Fourteen pounds.

What is a stone?

Fourteen pounds. Still the everyday unit of body weight in Britain and Ireland, and nowhere else.

What is a slug?

The mass that one pound-force accelerates at one foot per second squared — 32.174 pounds. It exists so that F = ma works in US customary units without a conversion constant, and it is why American engineering statics is not simply pounds.

How many slugs are in a stone?

One stone is 0.4351333 slugs. Going the other way, one slug is 2.2981463 stone. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

Every weight unit here

The whole group — 15 units with their symbols and the size of each one in kilograms — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a stone.
