Structural Engineering Application
In US practice, beam moment capacity (φMn) is tabulated in kip-feet. In Canadian, European, and Australian practice, moment capacity is evaluated in kN·m.
Common Conversion Mistake
Confusing kip-ft with kip-in. 1 kip-ft = 12 kip-in. Many steel section equations (e.g. Mp = Fy * Zx) naturally compute in kip-in and must be divided by 12 to yield kip-ft before converting.
