A kilopond (kp) is a unit of force that was part of the metric system in some countries before the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity (9.80665 meters per second squared). Essentially, one kilopond equates to the gravitational force on a one-kilogram mass.
Definition of Inch-poundAn inch-pound (in·lbf) is a unit of torque that represents the force of one pound acting at a perpendicular distance of one inch from a pivot point. It is a measure of rotational force, commonly used in the United States for applications such as tightening fasteners and calibrating machinery.
| Kilopond Meter (kp·m) | Inch-pound (in·lbf) |
|---|---|
| 1 kp·m | 86.7962 in·lbf |
| 2 kp·m | 173.5924 in·lbf |
| 3 kp·m | 260.3886 in·lbf |

| 9 kp·m | 781.1658 in·lbf |
| 10 kp·m | 867.9620 in·lbf |
Example 1:
Convert 2 kp·m to in·lbf:
2 kp·m = 2 × 86.7962 in·lbf = 173.5924 in·lbf
Example 2:
Convert 5 kp·m to in·lbf:
5 kp·m = 5 × 86.7962 in·lbf = 433.9810 in·lbf
