Pound Foot (abbreviations: lb.ft, or lb ft, or pound.foot): is the moment of force in pound times the distance between reference and application points in foot.
Kilopound Inch (abbreviations: kips.in, or kips in, or kilopound.inch): is the moment of force in kilopound times the distance between reference and application points in inch.
How to Convert Pound Feet to Kilopound Inches
Example: How many kilopound inches are equivalent to 43.72 pound feet?
As;
1 pound feet = 0.012 kilopound inches
43.72 pound feet = Y kilopound inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 43.72 times 0.012 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 43.72 * 0.012 / 1 = 0.52464 kilopound inches
Answer is: 0.52464 kilopound inches are equivalent to 43.72 pound feet.
