About these units
The kilonewton (kN) is a metric unit of force, equal to 1,000 newtons.
The kip (kip) is an imperial unit of force, equal to 4,448.2216 newtons.
Going the other way, 1 kip = 4.4482216 kilonewtons. Force is mass times acceleration. Engineering specs mix newtons, kilogram-force and pound-force freely, and the difference matters when you are sizing a bolt or a spring.
