Kips to kilonewtons
Type a value in kip to get it in kN instantly.
444.8kN
That's 1.11× as much force as a jet engine, while a Saturn V at liftoff is 79× stronger. That is the push needed to hold up 45,360 kg on Earth.
What it means
How strong is that?
Reference forces are the weight of each object on Earth, where one kilogram pushes down with 9.81 newtons.
The math
How to convert kip to kN
To convert kips to kilonewtons, multiply by 4.44822.
Example: 100 kip × 4.44822 = 444.822 kN.
In the other direction, 1 kN = 0.224809 kip.

The units
About these units
Kips (kip)
A kip is 1,000 pounds-force, about 4.45 kilonewtons. American structural engineers work in kips to keep numbers small.
Kilonewtons (kN)
A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons, roughly the weight of 100 kg. Structural loads and climbing gear are rated in kilonewtons.
