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.

Quintal (Metric) [cwt]

The metric quintal is a unit of mass equal to 100 kilograms. It is widely used in agriculture and commerce for measuring bulk goods like grains, produce, and livestock feed.

Though called "quintal," it differs from other regional versions like the British hundredweight (cwt). In some countries, especially those using the metric system, the quintal serves as a convenient intermediate unit between kilograms and metric tons.

Summary:

• 
  

  1 metric quintal = 100 kg

  
  
• 
  

  Common in farming and trade for easy large-quantity measurements
