The pound-troy, often abbreviated as 'lb t', is a unit of mass traditionally used in the troy weight system. It is primarily used for precious metals like gold, silver, and gemstones. One pound-troy is equivalent to 12 troy ounces, or approximately 373.24 grams, which is heavier than the avoirdupois pound used in the United States, equivalent to approximately 453.59 grams.
Definition of KipA kip is a non-SI unit of force that equals 1,000 pounds-force (lbf). It is used predominantly in the United States in engineering and structural analysis to measure large forces. One kip is also used as a unit of mass, assuming standard gravity, the unit of mass that exerts a force of one kip under standard gravity is approximately equal to 1,000 pounds-mass or 453.592 kilograms.
