That's the way I read them.

I am having a little trouble understanding the units used in Rohn's 25G
mechanical specs. For moment capacity, M, they call out FT.-KIPS, and for
yield strength, Fy, they call out KSI. My guess is that KIPS are kilopounds,
and KSI are kilopounds per square inch? Can anyone confirm this?
Many thanks,
Mike, AD4VH............................
