Ounce-Force to Newton Converter

Understanding Force Conversion

Conversion Formula

To convert from ounce-force (ozf) to newtons (N), multiply the force value by 0.278014:

N = ozf × 0.278014

Common Conversions

  • 1 ozf = 0.278014 N
  • 16 ozf = 4.448224 N (1 pound-force)
  • 100 ozf = 27.8014 N

About These Units

The ounce-force (ozf) is a unit of force in the imperial and US customary systems, while the newton (N) is the SI unit of force. One newton is defined as the force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second squared.
