A Pound Mass (not to be confused with a pound force) is a unit of mass used by aerospace engineers. It is related to the kilogram and the slug, but the exact conversion factors are not known. Usually, a 1 pound object will have a mass of approximately 1 pound mass somewhere near sea level on the Earth's surface (for example, in Bacliff, Texas).
