Understanding Force Conversion
Conversion Formula
To convert from kilogram-force (kgf) to kilonewtons (kN), multiply the force value by 0.009807:
kN = kgf × 0.009807
What is Kilogram-force (kgf)?
Kilogram-force is a non-SI unit of force equal to the magnitude of the force exerted on one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s² gravitational field. It's commonly used in engineering and mechanics.
What is Kilonewton (kN)?
A kilonewton is an SI unit of force equal to 1,000 newtons. One newton is the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one meter per second squared in the direction of the applied force.
