Convert pound force to kip, abbreviated as lbf to kip. This is based formula: 1 pound force = 0.001 kip, under this rule, pound forces can be easily converted into kips. Now, let’s discuss in more detail.
Pound of force is used in the system of measurement including English Engineering unit and foot-pound-system. Foot-pound and pound force are two separate units, avoid mixing these two.
The force which is applied on an object of mass of one pound at the rate of 32.174 ft/s is called one pound force. It is equal to the gravitational force that is applied on the one pound mass of object on this earth planet. This is very helpful because experiments have shown that gravitational force on one pound mass of object is equal to the one pound force.
The value of gravitational force is taken as 9.87 meter per square second.
Pound force is often represented with lb whereas force that is applied on one pound gram of object is represented with lbf.
This is also one the force units to represent force. It is equal to thousand pound force, which means the force which is applied on a thousand pound in such a way that it changes its motion is equal to kip force.
1 Kip = 4448.2216 N
Its name originated from combining kilo and pound that is “Kilo pound”.
Kip is the symbol to represent it.
This unit is basically used in measuring engineering loads where pound force is too small.
If you want to know how to convert pound force to kip, you must get the conversion formula or factor first.
The Pound Force to Kip formula is:
1 Pound Force = 0.001 kip
Or convert the formula:
Through the formula, two answers can be easily obtained:
In other words, 1 pound force equal to 0.001 kip. To convert pound forces to kips, just multiply pound force by 0.001 or divide by 1000.
For example, convert 100 lbf to kip
100 lbf = 100 × 0.001 kip = 0.1 kip
or
100 ÷ 1000 = 0.1 kip
Through the above content, now you know how to convert pound force to kip.
