About these units
Kilonewtons (kN): A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons, used for loads on structures, anchors and lifting gear.
Tonne-forces (tf): A tonne-force is the weight of a metric tonne, 9,806.65 newtons, used for press and crane capacities.
Frequently asked questions
How many tonne-forces are in 1 kilonewton?
1 kilonewton (kN) equals 0.1019716213 tonne-forces (tf).
How do I convert kN to tf?
Multiply the value in kilonewtons by 0.1019716213. For example, 5 kN × 0.1019716213 = 0.5098581065 tf.
How do I convert tonne-forces back to kilonewtons?
Multiply by 9.80665 (or divide by 0.1019716213). 1 tf = 9.80665 kN.
What is a kilonewton?
A kilonewton is 1,000 newtons, used for loads on structures, anchors and lifting gear.
