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



  • It equals 1,000 pound-force (lbf).



  • Mathematically:



1 kipf=1,000 lbfโ‰ˆ4,448.22 newtons1 \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.
