Convert kilopond to pond
Please provide values below to convert kilopond [kp] to pond [p], or Convert pond to kilopond.
1 kp = 1000 p. To convert kilopond to pond, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 p = 0.001 kp). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kp = 1000 p
- 1 p = 0.001 kp
- 10 kp = 10000 p
- 100 kp = 100000 p
How to Convert Kilopond to Pond
1 kp = 1000 p
Example: convert 15 kp to p:
15 kp = 15 × 1000 p = 15000 p

Kilopond
The kilopond (kp) is a unit of force that was historically used to measure weight, defined as the force exerted by gravity on a mass of one kilogram under standard gravity.
History/Origin
The kilopond was introduced in the late 19th century as part of the gravitational system of units, primarily used in Europe before the adoption of the SI system. It was based on the standard acceleration due to gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
Current Use
The kilopond is largely obsolete and has been replaced by the newton (N) in the International System of Units. It is rarely used in modern scientific contexts but may still appear in some engineering or historical references.
Pond
A pond is a small body of still water, typically smaller than a lake, often formed naturally or artificially for various purposes.
History/Origin
Historically, ponds have been used for agriculture, fishing, and water storage. They have been constructed by humans since ancient times and are integral to rural landscapes and ecosystems.
Current Use
Today, ponds are used for recreational activities, wildlife habitat, aquaculture, and aesthetic purposes in landscaping and urban planning.
