kgf to kN Converter - Kilogram Force to Kilonewton

Kilogram Force (kgf) to Kilonewton (kN)

Direct answer

1 kgf = 0.00980665 kN

kN = kgf × 0.00980665

Converter

Input

kgf

Result

0.00980665kN

kN = kgf × 0.00980665

kgf = kN × 101.971621298

Example: 10 kgf = 10 × 0.00980665 = 0.0980665 kN.

Express both kgf and kN in the same base unit N (newton), then cancel the shared base unit.

1
Rewrite kgf in the base unit
$1 kgf = 9.80665 N$
2
Rewrite kN in the base unit
$1 kN = 1, 000 N$
3
Forward conversion
$1 kgf = \frac{9.80665 N}{1 , 000 N} \times 1 kN = \frac{9.80665}{1 , 000} kN = 0.00980665 kN$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 kN = \frac{1 , 000 N}{9.80665 N} \times 1 kgf = \frac{1 , 000}{9.80665} kgf = 101.971621298 kgf$

1 kgf = 0.00980665 kN.

10 kgf = 0.0980665 kN.

100 kgf = 0.980665 kN.

Use kN = kgf × 0.00980665.

1 kN = 101.971621298 kgf.

Use the conversion factor and round the result to the precision required by your calculation.
