OK, I guess I originally misread your question. You are referring to inch-pounds (torque, I guess). Torque or work or energy is force (times) distance. So the [in lbs] implies that you are talking about pounds-force. With [lbf in], it is just clarifying that it is force.
Many people think of mass and 'weight' interchangably. lbs refers to mass. 2.2 lbs is approximately equal to 1 kilogram mass. lbf refers to force. a 1 pound mass (lb), will exert a 1 pound force (lbf), if there is 1 Earth 'g' of acceleration. (approx 9.8 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2). Alternatively, take that 1 kg mass, which 'weighs' 1 Newton. It has a mass of 2.2 lbs, and a 'weight' of 2.2 lbf.

How many newtons are 500 kg?
Newton is a unit of force, kilogram is a unit of weight, so the two are actually quite different.On Earth, the gravity is about 9.8 meters per second square, which is the same as 9.8 Newton per meter, so the 500 kg. would weigh almost 5000 Newton. Weight is a force, so of course you measure it in units of force.
How much is 2.2 kN in kilogram?
rounded to the closest pound it is 495 pounds-force (lbf)
How many pounds equal a foot?
Pounds are a unit measuring the weight of something, and feet measure distance, so it is impossible to say how many pounds are in a foot because they measure different things.
Convert 120 mph to pounds per square foot?
mph is a unit of speed; pounds per square foot is a unit of pressure. You don't convert that.mph is a unit of speed; pounds per square foot is a unit of pressure. You don't convert that.mph is a unit of speed; pounds per square foot is a unit of pressure. You don't convert that.mph is a unit of speed; pounds per square foot is a unit of pressure. You don't convert that.
How many pounds in 3.221 kg?
It is 7.101 lbs (approx.). Kilogram is an SI unit of mass and pound is an imperial unit. To convert from kg to pound multiply kg unit by 2.20462.3.221 kg of mass weighs 7.101 pounds, on or near the Earth.In other places, the same 3.221 kg has different weights.
What does lbf ie. tighten bolt to 30 lbf stand for when tightening a serpentine belt?
pounds of force Foot pounds or torque. Measured with a torque wrench.
What is 10 kilos in pounds?
Assuming a graviational constant of g=9.81 N/kg, you would convert this mass into a weight of mg = 10.5 kg x 9.81 N/kg = 103.005 Newtons and convert it to pounds force (lbf) by the conversion value of 1 N = 0.2248 lbf. Therefore, 103.005 N x 0.2248 lbf/N = 23.16 lbf, or 23.16 lbs It weighs 23.16 pounds, give or take 0.01 pounds due to rounding error.
What is the unit of pressure in the FPS system?
foot/second.square
What is the unit of the measurement of force?
The unit for measure for force in the metric system is the Newton (kilogram-metre per second2), however for the English system it is the pound-force (lbf or lbf), which may be called a foot-pound.
What is fps unit of pressure?
pound-force per feet2 (lbf/ft2)

What is the abbreviate for pounds?
lbs is an abbreviation already, and doesn't get abbreviated further; it is max abbreviated. It stands for the unit of weight 'pound'.
What is a unit for measuring force?
The SI-unit for force is the newton (N): 1 N ≡ 1 kg·m/s²= 105 dyn ≈ 0.10197 kp ≈ 0.22481 lbf ≈ 7.2330 pdl.
How to convert Normal Force lbf to Lift lbf?
Lift lbf = (Normal force lbf) x (cosine of angle of attack)
The amount of force applied to the machine?
The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: psior lbf/in2or lbf/in2or lbf/sq in or lbf/sq in) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch:
What is the units of measurement of force?
The unit for measure for force in the metric system is the Newton (kilogram-metre per second2), however for the English system it is the pound-force (lbf or lbf), which may be called a foot-pound.
What is the standard unit for measuring force?
