What are Kiloelectron-volt and Inch-pound

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electronvolts. It's commonly used in the field of physics and represents the amount of energy gained or lost by a single electron when it is accelerated by a potential difference of one volt. This small energy scale is particularly relevant in atomic and nuclear physics.

An inch-pound (in·lb) is a unit of torque commonly used in the United States. It measures the rotational force applied to an object. One inch-pound is the torque created by one pound force acting at a perpendicular distance of one inch from a pivot point. This unit is central in mechanical engineering for specifying the twisting force applied to objects such as nuts and bolts.

History of Kiloelectron-volt and Inch-pound

The conversion from kiloelectron-volts to inch-pounds is a modern necessity that arose with the need to bridge the gap between units used in particle physics and mechanical engineering. This converter is the result of scientific progress and the standardization of units across different fields of study and applications.
