About Kip (kip)

Short for 'kilo-pound,' one kip equals 1,000 pounds-force (approximately 4,448 N). Structural engineers in the United States use kips for beam reactions, column loads, and foundation bearing pressures. Bridge design specifications in the US express dead loads and live loads in kips and kips per linear foot.

About Pound-force (lbf)

The pound-force (lbf) is the gravitational force exerted by one pound of mass at standard gravity (9.80665 m/s-squared), equal to approximately 4.448 newtons. It is the standard force unit in US engineering for structural loads, jet engine thrust ratings, and mechanical testing.
