Kilopound [kip]


The kilopound, commonly abbreviated as kip, is a unit of force used primarily in the United States in engineering and construction.



  • 1 kip = 1,000 pounds-force (lbf)



  • Equivalent to approximately 4,448.22 newtons (N)



  • Used to measure large forces, such as loads on structures or machinery.



Key Facts:



  • 1 kip = 1,000 lbf



  • Convenient for expressing large forces without writing many zeros



  • Commonly used in civil and structural engineering, especially in the U.S.



The kip simplifies communication and calculation of large forces in engineering projects.



Poundal (pdl)


The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of measurement. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass by one foot per second squared. In other words,


1 poundal = 1 lb × 1 ft/s².


The poundal is much smaller than the more commonly used pound-force (lbf). It’s mainly used in some engineering contexts and classical mechanics problems where the FPS system is preferred. However, it is less common than the SI unit of force, the newton.


Conversion:

1 poundal ≈ 0.13825 newtons.
