Kilogram-Force to Meganewton Converter
Understanding Force Conversion
What is Kilogram-Force (kgf)?
Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI unit of force equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). It's commonly used in engineering and mechanics.
What is a Meganewton (MN)?
A meganewton (MN) is an SI unit of force equal to one million newtons. It's commonly used for measuring large forces in engineering applications, such as rocket thrust or structural loads in large buildings.
Conversion Formula
To convert from kilogram-force to meganewtons, multiply the kilogram-force value by 9.8067E-6:
MN = kgf × 9.8067E-6
