units conversion

[robyengIT]

I am Italian and I always used the metric units or the english ones.

Now I found a unit never found before : k/in (kip per inch). Does it means kilopounds per inch or pounds per inch (this because in a conversion table there is a mismatch according to me) ?

Thanks

k/in = 1000 lb.f per inch.
