  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.
