Post Tension Plan Tags

(OP)
Hello,

I do not do a lot of work with plate construction and I was helping review a post tension building and had a question on post tension for call outs. I usually see the post tension force in kips, but these plans alternate between kips and klf. Any clues why?

RE: Post Tension Plan Tags

The uniform direction is typically specified in kips per foot of slab, whereas the a total force in kips is typically provided for each band
