Hectonewton [hN]

Hectonewton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 hectonewton (hN) equals $10^{2}$ newtons (100 newtons).
It is used to measure moderate forces, such as those encountered in mechanical engineering or smaller-scale industrial applications.
To put it into perspective:

1 \text{ hN} = 100 \text{ N}

Hectonewtons provide a convenient way to express forces larger than newtons but smaller than kilonewtons.

Kilopound-Force [kipf]

The kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.

1 \text{ kipf} = 1,000 \text{ lbf} \approx 4,448.22 \text{ newtons}

The kipf is often used to express large forces such as structural loads, stresses in materials, or foundation pressures.
It simplifies large force values by grouping them in thousands of pounds-force, making calculations and communication more convenient.
