Kilopond, also known as kilogram-force (kgf), is a unit of force that represents the force exerted by a one-kilogram mass under standard gravity. It was commonly used in various fields before the adoption of the Newton as the standard unit of force. One kilopond is equivalent to approximately 9.80665 Newtons. Understanding the kilopond is essential in historical and some practical contexts where this unit is still in use.
Definition of Pound Foot-square SecondPound Foot-square Second is a unit of measurement that combines the imperial unit of mass (pound), distance (foot), and time (second). It is used to measure dynamic viscosity, representing the resistance to fluid flow. Essentially, it quantifies the internal friction within the fluid, affecting how it moves under force. This unit is critical in engineering and fluid mechanics to design and analyze systems involving fluid flow.
| Kilopond (kp) | Pound Foot-square Second (lb·ft·s) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 kp | 0.22481 lb·ft·s |
| 0.2 kp | 0.44962 lb·ft·s |
| 0.3 kp | 0.67443 lb·ft·s |
| 0.4 kp | 0.89924 lb·ft·s |
| 0.5 kp | 1.12405 lb·ft·s |
| 0.6 kp | 1.34886 lb·ft·s |
| 0.7 kp | 1.57367 lb·ft·s |
| 0.8 kp | 1.79848 lb·ft·s |
| 0.9 kp | 2.02329 lb·ft·s |
| 1.0 kp | 2.2481 lb·ft·s |
1 kp = 2.2481 lb·ft·s
1 lb·ft·s = 0.4448 kp
Example 1:
convert 5 kp to lb·ft·s:
5 kp = 5 × 2.2481 lb·ft·s = 11.2405 lb·ft·s
Example 2:
convert 3.5 kp to lb·ft·s:
3.5 kp = 3.5 × 2.2481 lb·ft·s = 7.86835 lb·ft·s
Kilopond to Pound Foot-square Second conversion has historical roots in various industrial and scientific applications. Initially, kilopond, or kilogram-force, was a commonly used unit of force before the Newton became the standard. With the growing complexity of fluid mechanics and engineering fields, the need to convert between kilopond and Pound Foot-square Second, a unit of dynamic viscosity, became crucial. This conversion helps bridge the gap between different measurement systems, ensuring accuracy and consistency in various calculations.
