A kip is an Imperial unit of force. It equals 1000 pounds-force, used primarily by American architects and engineers to measure engineering loads. Although uncommon, it is occasionally also considered a unit of mass, equal to 1000 pounds, i.e., one half of a short ton. One use is as a unit of deadweight to compute shipping charges. :1 kip = 4448.2216 N = 4.4482216 kN The name comes from combining the words "kilo" and "pound"; it is occasionally called a ''kilopound''. Its symbol is kip, or less frequently, klb. When it is necessary to clearly distinguish it as a unit of force rather than mass, it is sometimes called the ''kip-force'' (symbol kipf or klbf). Note that the symbol kp usually stands for a different unit of force, the ''kilopound'' or kilogram-force used primarily in Europe prior to the introduction of SI units. The kip is also the name of obsolete units of measure in Malaysia.〔(kip )〕 == See also == * Pound (force) * Short ton-force 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kip (unit)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
