Mass
Convert kilogram (kg) to pound (lb). Mass is the amount of matter — the basis of inventory, batch charges, and material balances, quoted in kg, tonnes, or pounds.
1 kg = 2.204623 lb
To convert kilogram to pound, multiply the kg value by 2.204623. To go the other way, divide by 2.204623 (or multiply by 0.4535924).
