Kilopound-Force [kipf]
The kilopound-force (kipf) is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.
1 kipf=1,000 lbf≈4,448.22 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.
Dekane wton [daN]
Dekane wton is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).
1 dekane wton (daN) equals newtons (10 newtons).
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to express moderate forces conveniently.
To put it in perspective:
Dekane wtons are useful when measuring forces greater than newtons but smaller than hectonewtons.
