Enter kilogram-force or newtons into the calculator to convert to the other value.
Kgf to N Formula
The following formulas convert kilogram-force to newtons and back using standard gravity.
\mathrm{N} = 9.80665 \times \mathrm{kgf}- 1 kgf = 9.80665 N
- 1 gf = 0.00980665 N (1000 gf = 1 kgf)
- 1 lbf = 4.4482216152605 N
- 1 ozf = 0.27801385095378125 N
- 1 kN = 1000 N
- 1 mN = 0.001 N
