What are Pound-force square Foot and Kip-force square Inch

Definition of Pound-force square Foot

Pound-force per square foot (lbf/ft²) is a unit of pressure or stress in the Imperial and US customary systems. It represents the force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square foot. This measurement is commonly used in fields such as engineering and construction, where it's essential to understand the stress on materials or surfaces.

Definition of Kip-force square Inch

Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in²) is a unit of pressure or stress commonly used in engineering and construction in the United States. One kipf/in² is equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force applied over an area of one square inch. This unit reflects a substantial force distributed over a small area and is critical in assessing material resistance and structural integrity.
