About these units
Kilonewtons (kN): A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons, used for loads on structures, anchors and lifting gear.
Kilogram-forces (kgf): A kilogram-force is the weight of 1 kg in standard gravity: exactly 9.80665 newtons.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilogram-forces are in 1 kilonewton?
1 kilonewton (kN) equals 101.9716213 kilogram-forces (kgf).
How do I convert kN to kgf?
Multiply the value in kilonewtons by 101.9716213. For example, 5 kN × 101.9716213 = 509.8581065 kgf.
How do I convert kilogram-forces back to kilonewtons?
Multiply by 0.00980665 (or divide by 101.9716213). 1 kgf = 0.00980665 kN.
What is a kilonewton?
A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons, used for loads on structures, anchors and lifting gear.
