What are Kip-force square Inch and Break

Definition of Kip-force square Inch

A Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in^2) is a unit of pressure. One kip-force is equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). When this force is distributed over an area of one square inch, you get a pressure unit commonly used in engineering to describe tensile and compressive strength, especially in materials testing and structural engineering.

Definition of Break

The term 'break' in engineering refers to the failure point of a material under stress. It is the condition wherein the material can no longer withstand the applied force, leading to fracture or permanent deformation. The 'break' is quantified by the maximum stress the material can endure before it fractures or yields.
