Kilopound Foot (abbreviations: kips.ft, or kips ft, or kip ft, or kilopound.foot): is the moment of force in kilopound times the distance between reference and application points in foot.
How to Convert Pound Inches to Kilopound Feet
Example: How many kilopound feet are equivalent to 15.27 pound inches?
As;
1 pound inches = 8.3333333333333E-5 kilopound feet
15.27 pound inches = Y kilopound feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 15.27 times 8.3333333333333E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 15.27 * 8.3333333333333E-5 / 1 = 0.0012725 kilopound feet
Answer is: 0.0012725 kilopound feet are equivalent to 15.27 pound inches.
