What are Kilopound and Kilogram-force

A kilopound (kp) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). It is a standard unit used in engineering and mechanics to measure large forces. For example, in structural engineering, loads or stresses may be measured in kilopounds to simplify calculations and communication.

Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-standard unit of force that represents the gravitational force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. One kgf is equivalent to the force exerted by a mass of one kilogram under the acceleration of gravity (9.80665 m/s²).

History of Kilopound and Kilogram-force

A brief history of the Kilopound to Kilogram-force Square Second meter Converter stems from the need to bridge the gap between imperial and metric systems.
