Weight (more strictly, mass) is measured in kilograms in the metric system and in pounds in the imperial and US customary systems. The metric system traces back to the post-revolution French Republic; the kilogram has been the SI base unit of mass since 1889. Conversion factors here are exact by the 1959 international avoirdupois agreement: 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg.
