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.

Pond [p]

The pond is a historical unit of force, equivalent to the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one gram.

It is part of the gram-force system and was widely used before the adoption of the newton in the SI system.
Mathematically:

1 \text{ pond} = 1 \text{ gram} \times 9.80665 \text{ m/s}^2 = 0.00980665 \text{ newtons}

In other words, 1 pond is approximately 0.00981 newtons.
The pond is rarely used today, having been replaced by the newton, but it may still appear in older scientific literature or certain niche applications.
It is similar in concept to the gram-force (gf).
