pertaining to weld strength. I have never seen it before, I assume its
metric strength like Kilo per meter

I don't think it "stands for" anything. Probably dates back to a need to be
able to "pronounce" "KP."

From my engineering classes some 30 yrs ago

KI short for Kilo (as in 1,000)
P short for pounds

so

KIP = 1,000 pounds
