Is kip a unit of mass or force?

Kip is a U.S. customary engineering unit of force equal to 1,000 pounds-force, not mass.

Why convert femtogram to kip?

This conversion helps relate very small mass measurements to large force units for interdisciplinary research or analysis.

Can I use this conversion for precise engineering calculations?

Because femtogram measures mass and kip measures force, this conversion should be applied with caution and contextual understanding.
