Understanding Newtons and Kilogram-force
What is a Newton (N)?
The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared (1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s²).
What is Kilogram-force (kgf)?
Kilogram-force (kgf), or kilopond (kp), is a gravitational metric unit of force. It is the force exerted on a one-kilogram mass in a standard gravitational field (approximately 9.80665 m/s²).
Why Convert Newtons to Kilogram-force?
Converting Newtons to kilogram-force is useful for relating a standard scientific unit of force to a unit that is more intuitively understood as "weight." This is common in some engineering disciplines and regions where kgf is still used. Our converter uses the standard conversion: 1 kgf ≈ 9.80665 N.
