Unit Definitions
What is a Kilogram (kg)?
A kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is widely used around the world for measuring weight.
History
Originally defined as the mass of one liter of water, the kilogram was standardized in 1889 with a physical prototype made of platinum-iridium. In 2019, the definition was updated to be based on fundamental constants of nature.
Current Use
Kilograms are commonly used in everyday life, science, and industry for measuring mass and weight.

A kip (kip) is a unit of force equal to 1000 pounds-force. It is primarily used in engineering and construction.
History
The term 'kip' was introduced in the United States in the early 20th century to simplify the use of pounds in engineering calculations, particularly in structural analysis.
Current Use
Kips are frequently used in civil engineering to express loads and stresses in structural components and materials.
