About these units
Petagram (Pg)
A petagram, equal to 10¹² kilograms, is used almost exclusively in global environmental science and earth system modeling. Planetary-scale carbon budgets—for example, the total carbon stored in Earth's soils or forests—are expressed in petagrams. The Amazon rainforest alone holds on the order of 100 Pg of carbon. Using petagrams helps researchers track changes in Earth's climate balance and evaluate feedback loops in the carbon cycle.
Kilopound (kip)
A kilopound, or kip, equals 1,000 pounds and is used primarily in structural engineering, especially in the United States. Loads, tensions, and compression forces in steel beams, concrete structures, and bridges are often expressed in kips. The kip allows engineers to avoid large numbers when expressing forces such as building loads or material stresses. In structural analysis software and construction documents, kips are ubiquitous. Despite not being a mass unit strictly speaking (it is often used as a force unit, kip-force), it remains central to American engineering practice.
