Ounce-Force [ozf]

Ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force used mainly in the Imperial and US customary systems.

• 
  

  It represents the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one ounce (oz) under standard Earth gravity.

  
  
• 
  

  Since there are 16 ounces in a pound-force, mathematically:

  
  

• 
  

  Ounce-force is typically used for measuring small forces in applications like mechanical devices, small-scale forces, or packaging.

  
  
• 
  

  It provides a convenient way to express forces smaller than a pound-force in everyday and engineering contexts.

  
  

Kilopound-Force [kipf]

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:

  
  

• 
  

  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.
