How to use
- Type a force in “Value” and choose the units to convert from and to. The page opens on kgf → N.
- kgf, gf and tf are the weight of that mass under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
- “Show all units” lists the same force in kN, lbf, dynes and every other unit at once.
- The page address keeps your value and units, so you can share the link as is.
FAQ
How many newtons is 1 kgf?
Exactly 9.80665 N, the weight of one kilogram under standard gravity. People often round it to 10 N.
How strong is 1 kN?
About 101.97 kgf or 224.8 lbf. Climbing gear and anchor bolts are commonly rated in kN.
What is the difference between kg and kgf?
A kilogram measures mass; a kilogram-force is the pull of standard gravity on that mass. On the Moon your mass stays the same but your weight drops to about one sixth.
