Karina 0 #1 August 26, 2003 How is properly to call KGS (Kilogramm*Strength) measurement according to american standarts in parachuting documentation? Anybody knows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixlpr 0 #2 August 26, 2003 What is "KGS (Kilogramm*Strength)" anyway? Kg is Unit of mass, but Strength is not a measurement unit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DexterBase 1 #3 August 26, 2003 Hmmm... I know in climbing we use the Kilonewton which is equal to 224.8089 pounds of force. I have no idea how this would apply to your needs. Maybe Hookitt or one of the other riggers in here could help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masher 1 #6 August 26, 2003 Strength is a material property. It's measured in pascals. (newtons per square metre) and it's kg for kilogram. . But I've never heard of KGS. It doesn't make sense to have a mass multiplied by a strength....-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masher 1 #7 August 26, 2003 Maybe tensile strength? That is the maximum strength that can be sustained in tension.-- Arching is overrated - Marlies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
