Kilopound
A kilopound (kip) is a unit of force equal to 1,000 pounds-force, primarily used in engineering and construction to measure large forces.
History/Origin
The kilopound originated in the United States as a practical unit for expressing large forces in structural engineering, especially in the context of steel and concrete design. It has been in use since the early 20th century as part of customary engineering units.
Current Use
Today, the kip is still used mainly in the United States within civil and structural engineering to specify loads, stresses, and forces in construction projects, particularly for steel and concrete structures.
Quarter (Uk)
A quarter (qr) is a traditional unit of weight used in the UK, typically equal to one-quarter of a hundredweight, or 28 pounds (approximately 12.7 kilograms).
History/Origin
The quarter has historical roots in British measurement systems, originating from the need to divide larger weights into manageable parts. It was commonly used in trade and agriculture before the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
