What is a Kilogram-force?
The Kilogram-force (kgf) is a non-SI gravitational metric unit of force, equal to the force exerted by standard gravity on one kilogram of mass.
What is a Newton?
The Newton (N) is the SI derived unit of force. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one meter per second squared.
How to Convert Kilogram-force to Newton
To convert Kilogram-force to Newton, multiply the Kilogram-force value by 9.80665.
N = kgf × 9.80665Manual Calculation Steps
