The Pound-troy, often simply called the troy pound, is a unit of mass that is part of the troy weight system. It is traditionally used for precious metals and gemstones, where one pound-troy equals approximately 373.24 grams. Distinct from the avoirdupois pound, which is commonly used in the United States, the troy pound has been standardized to a specific set of measurements, making it imperative for industries that require exact weight specifications.
Definition of KilopoundA Kilopound (kip) is a non-SI unit of mass that is primarily used in engineering and construction industries in the United States. One kilopound is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. It is a convenient unit for expressing large loads or forces. For example, structural beams' strength and load capacities are often measured in kips. The kilopound is also used in scientific contexts where large masses are discussed, providing a clearer understanding of scale and magnitude.
