Convert Kilopound to Short 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.
Short Ton
The short ton (symbol tn or t) is a unit of mass primarily used in the United States. It is equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.1847 kilograms. The short ton is part of the U.S. customary system and is smaller than both the long ton (used in the UK) and the metric ton.
The short ton originated in the U.S. as a way to standardize weight measurements, particularly for bulk commodities like coal and steel. It is called "short" to distinguish it from the long ton (also known as the imperial ton), which is used in the UK and equals 2,240 pounds. The short ton became widely used in the United States during the 19th century as part of the U.S. customary system of measurements.
