Kip

The kip is a unit of force commonly used in engineering, especially in the United States.

• 
  

  1 kip = 1,000 pounds-force (lbf)

  
  
• 
  

  1 kip ≈ 4,448.22 newtons (N)

  
  
• 
  

  Symbol: kip

  
  

Key Points:

• 
  

  Used to measure large forces or loads, such as in structural engineering, construction, and material testing

  
  
• 
  

  Simplifies the expression of heavy loads (e.g., instead of 20,000 lbf, engineers say 20 kip)

  
  
• 
  

  Part of the U.S. customary system, not an SI unit

  
  

The kip is widely used in practice where large forces are common, making calculations and communication easier.
