Kip

"Kip" is a measure of electrical power used primarily in the oil and gas industry to describe the rate at which energy is transferred or consumed. It equals 1,000,000 British thermal units (BTUs) per hour. Essentially, a kip indicates how much energy is being produced, used, or transferred in a system over time. It's a way for engineers and industry professionals to quantify energy flows, helping in the design, safety, and efficiency analysis of equipment like pipelines, burners, and compressors. The term is specific to energy measurement and is not related to weight or force.
