About These Units
Gram-force (gf)
A gram-force (gf or pond) equals 0.00981 newtons—the force exerted by 1 gram under standard gravity. Gram-force measures delicate forces: fishing line strength, keyboard key force (45-60 gf typically), and small spring tensions.
Kip-force (kipf)
A kip-force (kipf) equals 1,000 pounds-force or 4.448 kilonewtons. Kips simplify structural engineering calculations in the US: beam loads, column forces, and foundation pressures are often expressed in kips or kips per square inch (ksi).
