Convert Kilopound to Long Ton
Kilopound
The kilopound (kip) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 pounds (1,000 lb) or approximately 453.592 kilograms. It is used in engineering and construction to measure large forces and loads.
The kilopound was introduced as a convenient unit for measuring large forces and loads in engineering and construction. It is commonly used in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system.
Long Ton
The long ton (symbol lt) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries. It is equal to 2,240 pounds or approximately 1,016.05 kilograms. The long ton is part of the imperial system and is larger than both the short ton (used in the U.S.) and the metric ton.
The long ton originated in medieval England as a standardized measure for trade, particularly for goods like coal and other bulk materials. It was defined as 20 long hundredweight, with each long hundredweight being 112 pounds. This measure became part of the British Imperial System in 1824 and has been widely used in maritime and industrial contexts, especially in the UK, before the metric system was more broadly adopted.
